I mean, all my articles include some component of opinion, I'm a strong defender of the idea that there is no such thing as objectivity, only shared subjectivity... but that's a topic for another day. An internal conversation at work triggered a reflection on the dangers of AI. Now, I'm going to be fully open about how I feel, maybe too much. I'm going to touch on potentially controversial topics, perhaps even prick...]]></description><link>https://www.cosotateam.com/post/ai-and-the-end-of-the-world</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa448e25462f0629b9ca2d8</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:19:16 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7230a_f385170347c942c994eb6e1ae515c1bf~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abraham Marin-Perez</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grassroots AI: beyond the moonshot]]></title><description><![CDATA[It would appear that, with AI, everyone is trying to go for the moonshot, the magical combination of elements that will make code write itself autonomously, reliably, sustainably and, more than anything, cheaply. This is not a new idea, and it's not working. Look, I get it, I understand the allure of the moonshot: breaking new ground, creating new paradigms, featuring as the celebrated hero on the front page of Times Magazine.

There are many variants of how to get to autonomy but they all seem to be based on the same premise: the “well-defined project”. This is why there is so much emphasis in a well-written PRD with extensive reviews, sign-off, etc. Essentially Waterfall 2.0. I’m beginning to think that the opposite is true: the real automation is achieved with loosely-defined projects. Now, there is a difference between loosely-defined and loosely-specified.

The concept is simple: you describe an LLM what you want, and the LLM produces code. Then you play with your application, if it seems to work then you crack open a beer (or your beverage of choice); if it doesn't then you tell the LLM what the problem is and ask it to fix the code. It's a loop of refining the requirements over and over until the LLM gets it right without ever...]]></description><link>https://www.cosotateam.com/post/ai-and-the-age-of-probabilistic-programming</link><guid isPermaLink="false">688d4ca1b00b0ea0c74115f3</guid><category><![CDATA[AI in Software Development]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 18 Oct 2025 00:45:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7230a_7dd1fb0c64c1440d82aacdf9be511465~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abraham Marin-Perez</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Support a structure that allows people to join dynamic teams]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines dynamic as “marked by usually continuous and productive activity or change”.
