Beyond the Hype: 5 Surprising Realities of How AI Actually "Thinks"

Introduction: The Gap Between Sci-Fi and State Space In the popular imagination, artificial intelligence is a shimmering mirage of sentience—humanoid machines that "think" through a spark of consciousness. However, from the perspective of an AI strategist, the reality is far more rigorous and, in many ways, more fascinating. AI does not "feel" its way through a problem; it navigates a mathematical construct known as a state space. The gulf between science fiction and technical reality explains why the field's pioneers were so famously over-optimistic. They mistook the ability to perform high-level symbolic reasoning for the possession of general intelligence. To truly understand the current trajectory of AI, one must look past the hype at the five foundational realities that define how these systems actually operate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The "10-Year" Mirage and the Hard Truth of Logic The ...

Scheduling commands execution with crontab

​A command can be scheduled to run as a scheduled task in Linux environment. It is done with executing ‘crontab -e‘ command. I will not cover all of the details of formatting of a scheduled task, this information is here, so you would know that it can be done. Please refer to to crontab documentation of what can be done.

Filtering data in Linux

​Output of a command can be filtered with the use of ‘grep’ command. ‘grep’ command needs to process output of the command that preceded it. ‘grep’ command will specify text that is needed to be found. Processing of the output of one command by another one is done by specifying pipe “|” symbol. YouTube video

More Than a Chatbot: 5 Surprising Takeaways from the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence

We are currently living through a narrative of hubris and humbling. In our cultural obsession with Large Language Models, we have mistaken the "black box" of predictive text for the spark of true cognition. We treat AI as a monolithic entity—a digital oracle—without ever stopping to define what "Intelligence" actually means in a computational context. To the computer scientist, intelligence is not a vague vibe; it is a rigorous architecture. According to the foundations of the field, true intelligence rests upon the Three Pillars: 1. The capacity to learn and solve problems. 2. The ability to solve novel problems (navigating situations the agent has never encountered). 3. The ability to act rationally (making decisions based on reason to achieve the best outcome). When we pull back the curtain on the chatbots, we find a history of "toy problems" and mathematical walls that remind us how far we have come—and how much further we have to go. Here are five sur...
