I’m writing again…

I’m Writing Again

For those of you who are still here — and given how long it’s been, “still here” is a real act of patience — thank you. I haven’t written a column since 2022.

Just like everyone else, I’ve been busy all this time on Artificial Intelligence, founding with two partners a company called 2Brains (why it wasn’t 3Brains I’ll never know) that I will explain to you shortly. The work we were doing together is unfinished, but it’s not stopped. The patents are filed, the architecture is documented, and the small team continuing the work includes me. Writing is part of how I think; not writing for three years has felt like holding my breath.

So I’m back. Not on a fixed schedule yet — I’ll publish when I have something worth saying — but back. The first real piece is coming this week, and it makes the case that the trillion-dollar bet the AI industry is making right now may be wrong, and that there’s an architectural alternative we’ve patented and built. We’ll see what you think.

For the readers who’ve been here since the InfoWorld days, or the PBS series, or the early years of this site: I’m grateful you waited. For the readers who found me more recently and are wondering what they signed up for: welcome. The work continues.

— Bob

Jeremy Reimer May 21, 2026 at 12:08 pm - Reply Wow. I was not expecting to find this in my RSS feed. And I have to say: welcome back. Still, I’m disappointed to find yet another startup that will never go anywhere. Except this time it’s AI. Of course it is. Everyone is all AI all the time. All the scammers have jumped off the crypto bandwagon and they are full on with the latest grift. It’s exhausting. Generative AI is just another tool. It’s useful for some things, but useless for others. It’s like we live in a world where all the tech companies pumped trillions of dollars investing into the little blue grammar check squiggles in Word. They all want to tell us that it will change everything. What they aren’t telling us is that “AI” is polluting the Internet with non-stop slop. The next generation of AI will be trained on the slop written by the last one. And so it will gradually get worse, and worse, until it becomes completely useless. That is, unless the world’s economy doesn’t crash before that happens, thanks to the ridiculous bubble all this hype has generated. Well, I wish you the best of luck with your new startup. I hope it does just as well as the electric planes, the moon probe, the aluminum foil hard drives, the Mineserver, and the F-104-launched satellites.
