My GF is letting the German Shepherd drive to the off-leash beach. Not sure how I feel about it as he is a poor driver. I’ve never seen him use his blinkers. See clamPies.com for reviews of my comedic spy thriller.

As agentic tools become better at the mechanics of building, human advantage moves upstream. The scarce skills are increasingly defining the right problem, understanding why it matters, designing the whole system, and judging whether what the agents built actually works. Education must evolve accordingly: less emphasis on reproducing the “how,” and more on framing, orchestration, validation, and consequence.
