If AI Can’t Do Yoga, Should It Do Healthcare?
Artificial wellness is a big topic these days. For $365 per year, you can swing by Function Health and test 100 biomarkers, covering thyroid, cardiovascular health, heavy metals, nutrients, and much more. If you’re feeling ambitious, add SiPhox Health, Direct Labs, Ways2Well, and maybe squeeze in a Prenuvo or Ezra scan to hunt for early-stage…

Agentic Cybersecurity ROI: The CEO CISO Gap
Over the past few weeks, Anthropic has knocked billions of dollars of value out of the stock market. The “SaaSpocalypse” stock drop has just been supplanted by Cybersecurity stocks as the post-agentic era punching bag. The fundamental question, “Can we trust AI to build software?” has been answered. It’s not perfect, it’s getting better. It…

The Unin-Vited Guests: When Vibe Coding Ships Security Holes
I look at CISA’s (the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list regularly. Usually, it’s the typical flaws, VPN’s, firewalls, Microsoft, some major open-source packages… but today, I noticed CVE-2025-31125, a vulnerability in Vite. Vite is a frontend tooling framework for JavaScript. If you aren’t a developer, you may have never heard of…

When GenAI Thinks Like Don Quixote
When working with Generative AI (GenAI) day in and day out, you see the promise and experience the difficulty of an entirely new business paradigm. GenAI brings real, transformative, enterprise scale power to knowledge work – it is the coming of the second industrial revolution. Yet, organizations shouldn’t assume agents will behave benevolently when deployed…

The Social Engineering Economy
It started the way most heists do, with a file that shouldn’t exist. Bob, the vendor account manager, exported a spreadsheet to send out Holiday greeting cards to his customer’s family. Bob always takes copious notes on his customers, their family, how many kids, their names, ages, and which college they got accepted to. It’s…

How To Make It in this Agentic World
For centuries, the question of achieving success was answered simply by effort and skill. Back in the day, you were told to do a good job, and in doing so, you would be rewarded. “Lace up your boots and get to work,” they preached. Expertise was fundamental to doing a good job, hence education, practice,…

Why Data Security in AI Isn’t an Add-On — It’s Built Into Every Component of Your Pipeline
When most organizations think about securing AI, they still picture a staged process borrowed from traditional software: design the system, build it, test it, deploy it — and then, at the very end, tack on a “security review.” That sequence has always been flawed, but in AI it becomes outright dangerous. AI orchestration pipelines extend…

Darwinian Data, Evolutionary AI, and How to Survive
Charles Darwin famously said in 1859, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent… It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” But Darwin’s perspective is no longer just about animal species; it’s also about current models and data. 165 years after Darwin published his theory…

What Is Important for Any CEO?
How many sales presentations have you attended? For me, it’s 4,695. But who’s counting? Going back to 1995 when I joined Oracle, that’s the number I’ve logged, like a fatigued Delta Diamond Medallion flyer. And like a Medallion flyer, after thousands of journeys under my seatbelt, I’ve identified and lived by the patterns that lead…

How Much Does it Cost to Make Money?
Way back in 2014, Meta/Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion, and just recently, they decided to monetize their 2 billion WhatsApp user community with ads. They also just plunked down $14b on Scale AI. Even bigger, perhaps, is Apple thinking about buying Perplexity, which, to me, makes a lot of sense, especially because of their…
