Why Most Enterprise AI Fails (And It’s Not the Technology)

📅 August 6, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

Most enterprise AI projects fail not because the technology is flawed, but because organizations are broken. The hype is fueled by misaligned incentives—vendors, executives, and media all profit from the myth of AI magic.

Email deliverability is no longer about content or sending volume. Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft now act as de facto regulators, enforcing private compliance rules on top of public internet infrastructure. If you send bulk email, ignoring these requirements means watching your open rates vanish. The open internet just got a new gatekeeper — and it’s not you.

Your AI Vocabulary App Is Keeping You a Beginner

📅 August 6, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

AI vocabulary builders promise instant fluency, but they might be keeping you a beginner.

The Real Product George R.R. Martin Is Selling Isn’t Books

📅 August 6, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

George R.R. Martin’s ‘Better Late Than Never’ blog post isn’t about a delayed book—it’s about a broken trust. The top comment says it all: ‘At this point I just call it bait.’ The real product Martin has been selling isn’t a story; it’s the anticipation itself. And the fandom’s resentment is the cost of realizing they’ve been kept in a holding pattern, not a conversation.
