The CVE Wave Is Coming. Most Organisations Are Not Prepared.
Published on andrewbaker.ninja It is 09:47 on a Tuesday morning. A researcher publishes a new CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) for a widely deployed authentication library. The advisory goes live. Within minutes, an AI system on the other side of the world ingests the patch, reverse engineers it, identifies the memory corruption flaw the patch […]

How a Blog Post Wiped $30 Billion from IBM in One Day
Anthropic published a blog post on Monday. Not a product launch, not a partnership announcement, not a keynote at a major conference. Just a simple blog post explaining that Claude Code can read COBOL. IBM proceeded to drop 13%, its worst single day loss since October 2000, with twenty five years of stock resilience gone […]

Builders, Sellers, Measurers: Why AI Is Restructuring Every Company Whether They Plan For It or Not
AI is not eliminating work so much as changing what organisations optimise for. Companies that once grew by adding layers of management, reporting and coordination are beginning to grow by adding builders and customer facing experts instead, with AI quietly removing much of the organisational overhead that previously sat between them. The businesses that understand […]

Where Kimi Can Beat Claude on Coding Economics, and Where It Cannot
1. The narrow claim This is not a case for replacing Claude across the enterprise. Most of what several thousand ordinary employees do with AI is low volume and highly varied, and a frontier model’s breadth is genuinely worth paying for there. That part of the bill is not in play in this piece. The […]

Hidden Bank Fees Exposed: How AI Will End Fee Smuggling
There is nowhere left to hide. For decades, banks built an elegant asymmetry into the relationship with their customers. The bank had a team of specialists, the time to design products, and the lawyers to draft disclosure documents that were technically correct and practically unreadable. The customer had a life to live and, at the […]

The Agentic Limerence Trap: When Productivity Becomes Emotional Avoidance
1. The Most Addictive Technology I Have Ever Used Agentic AI is the most addictive technology I have ever used, not because it numbs the mind or encourages passive consumption, but because it creates the overwhelming sensation that your intellectual and creative potential is finally becoming unconstrained. Most addictive systems in history eventually expose obvious […]

Mac Wireshark MCP Setup for Claude Desktop: Full Guide

Context Windows and KV Caching Explained: Why They Drive AI Inference Costs
1. What a token actually is Before any of this makes sense, it helps to be precise about what a token is, since the whole article rests on it. A model does not read text the way a person does, character by character or word by word. Text is first broken up into tokens, which […]

The Leadership Handoff: How Learned Helplessness And Management Bottlenecks Are Slowing AI Era Organizations
1. The Rugby Lesson Most People Learn the Hard Way If you have ever played rugby, you learn very quickly what a handoff is. You approach a player too high, too upright, or too casually, and suddenly there is a massive palm in your face while your dignity disappears backwards across the grass. The handoff […]

You Cannot Govern What You Cannot Measure: The Case for AI Evaluation Maturity
Most organisations deploying AI are flying blind. They have a model, a prompt, and a vague sense that it seems to work. They ran it past a few people internally, nobody objected loudly, and it shipped. That is not evaluation. That is hope wearing a business case. The image at the top of this post […]

How to run Claude Code on OpenRouter with alternative models like DeepSeek: the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL guide
1. Why this is worth being precise about Claude Code’s model can be changed through an environment variable, and that variable can point at a gateway such as OpenRouter rather than at Anthropic’s own API. This is how people run Claude Code against DeepSeek, GLM, or any other backend a gateway serves. The question comes […]
