Tech Insights from Real-World Challenges
Tech Insights from Real-World Challenges We’ve never had so much content at our fingertips—and yet, it’s never felt so worthless. We used to value content because it was scarce, costly, and required expertise. Today, it’s cheap, mass-produced, and often mindless. Who is responsible for this shift? The answer: all of us. What is content? Content is anything that teaches, entertains, or informs—from books and blog posts to YouTube videos, memes, and podcasts. It shapes how…
Continue ReadingToday, all usage of DeepSeek R1 has been banned inside the company I work at—even when running it inside a sandbox. And this decision isn’t driven by security concerns but rather by pressure from companies like OpenAI, SoftBank, and others, which have started declaring that using DeepSeek R1 poses a risk in any case. It’s not hard to see where the interests of these corporations lie, but today, Toyota also…
Continue ReadingI’ve encountered numerous challenges in building scalable and efficient applications, many of which were developed using Python. While Python often faces criticism for its performance—especially at scale—the reality is that these concerns apply to only about 1% of use cases. For most projects, Python’s performance is more than sufficient. In this article, I aim to showcase how Python effectively tackles real-world software development challenges. I’ll highlight ways to optimize Python,…
Continue ReadingAfter a year of dedicated effort, my team and I are thrilled to announce the launch of MOJIKAI, a groundbreaking service that transforms textual descriptions into customizable 3D assets, avatars, and scenes. What Sets MOJIKAI Apart? Unlike other platforms that generate 3D content directly, MOJIKAI operates as an agentic system, leveraging a comprehensive database of parametric procedural templates. This approach allows users to create and fine-tune 3D models with remarkable…
Continue ReadingA few days ago, while I was browsing YouTube, I stumbled upon another video—or maybe it was a Short—about AI, GPT-4 and AGI. My feed has been full of them lately. But this one stood out because it expressed something I had been thinking about in the back of my mind, though I hadn’t yet put it into words. In the video, or Short, a software developer was voicing her…
Continue ReadingI’m genuinely surprised and concerned that so many people seem comfortable with OpenAI’s decision to abandon its foundational values in favor of profit. Wasn’t OpenAI originally established as a non-profit organization, dedicated to bringing together the best minds in AI research for the greater good? It feels almost ironic that the original mission statement can still be found in OpenAI’s Introduction to OpenAI post (link). From the original mission statement,…
Continue ReadingIt’s true that many companies dream of replacing all their developers with AI bots. But honestly, that’s not going to happen anytime soon. I’ve been working with machine learning models for the past ten years and have been actively using ChatGPT since it first launched—I even used it to proofread this article (though not to write it!). As the director of my department, I could theoretically make the call to…
