Fifty. That magical age where your back goes out more than you do, the tech landscape changes faster than your ability to remember where you put your reading glasses, and you consider a full night’s sleep a major achievement.

They say with age comes wisdom. What they don’t mention is that it also comes with a healthy dose of “Wait, what’s that now?” especially when “that” is Artificial Intelligence completely rewiring the IT world I thought I knew.

This blog is my public support group, where I’ll be sharing my journey into understanding AI and all its implications for our world and our lives. Hoping my years of untangling complex systems might in some small way contribute to getting us through it in one piece.

I will try to translate the AI hype into plain English and see if my decades of “been there, broke that” experience can actually give us a head start. Or, at the very least, point out the problems so we can be prepared and have a plan B ready.
