Project Vend: Why AI Sales Agents Tried to Buy Illegal Onions
I admit it. I check my server logs every morning. There is this tiny part of me hoping for that “passive income” miracle where the AI finally runs the whole show, and I can just sit on a porch somewhere. We all want that. But then I read about Anthropic’s latest experiment called “Project Vend”…
Robots That Park Your Car: Twelve Years On, and Now Bookable
When you spend hours researching computer hardware and AI chips, as I did recently, the social media algorithms eventually figure you out.

RAG Explained Simply: Why AI Needs a Research Assistant (simplified)
Imagine your favorite AI chatbot is like a very smart, but slightly forgetful, friend. This friend knows a lot because they read the internet a few years ago. But when you ask them about today’s news or a secret family recipe, they sometimes guess or even make up the answer. This is where Retrieval Augmented…
The Problem With Confident AI Is Not the One You Expect
A confident answer from an AI tool feels more reliable than a hesitant one. The obvious worry is that fluent machines talk people into trusting them. The research is more awkward than that, and the most direct experiment on it points the other way. The same advice, two labels Merrick Osborne and Erica Bailey ran…
