Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
Gerben WierdaShould we be hopeful or scared about imminent machines that are as intelligent or more than humans? Surprisingly, this debate is even older than computers, and from the mathematician Ada Lovelace comes an interesting observation that is as valid now as…
After watching my talk that explains GPT in a non-technical way, someone asked GPT to write critically about its own lack of understanding. The result is illustrative, and useful. “Seeing is believing”, true, but “believing is seeing” as well.
We should stop labelling the wrong results of ChatGPT and friends (the ‘hallucinations’) as ‘errors’. Even Sam Altman — CEO of OpenAI — agrees, they are more ‘features’ than ‘bugs’ he has said. But why is that? And why should we not call them errors?
On 10 October I gave an (enthusiastically received) explainer talk at the EABPM Conference Europe 2023, making clear what ChatGPT and friends actually do — addressing the technology in a non-technical but correct way — and what that means. That presentation fills the gap between the tech and the results. At the end you will understand what these models really do in a practical sense (so not the technical how) when they handle language, see not only how impressive they are, but also how the errors come to be (with a practical example), and what that means what we may expect from this technology in the future.

I had a conversation with ChatGPT. Who hasn’t, right?
This short post is just to share a short conversation I had with GPT-4. The conversation will probably be mentioned in my upcoming talk “What Every Architect Should Understand About ChatGPT and Frie…
When (new) technology is concerned, I observe that there are three types of people involved. Those whose eyes ‘glaze over’. Those whose eyes become like saucers. Those whose eyes narrow. Who should be the advisor of the decision makers?
We tend to think of requirements as ‘incoming’ elements for our designs. But what we not always explicitly notice is that we also create many ‘outgoing’ requirements in our designs, often in the form of ‘constraints’ of the ‘users’ of the products that…
What can we estimate about where the Generative AI innovation is going? Three useful links to articles that give interesting observations and insights.
Today, it has been 11 years, 11 months, and 11 days since the first post on. this blog. The blog was called masteringarchimate.com and the first years the modelling language ArchiMate was the subject. To celebrate, I am today presenting my ArchiMate 3….
As the IT world has been largely taken over by Agile methods, the concepts of Definition of Ready and Definition of Done have become mainstream.
While these concepts were introduced at the story/sprint level in Scrum, they have taken on a wide role an…
If someone tries to get you to invest in some shiny new technology — like blockchain 5-8 years ago — beware. How do you judge these proposals? A realistic use case is key.
