Welcome to my channel.
My goal is simple: help people understand technology deeply and use it with purpose.

On this channel we explore:
• AI
• Software Engineering
• Distributed Systems
• Decentralized Technology
• The philosophy of building technology that benefits humanity

I share practical knowledge from my experience building large-scale systems, working in the tech industry, and researching the future of AI.

You will find videos about:
• How modern AI systems work
• Building software the right way
• Decentralized AI and compute networks
• Engineering principles and architecture
• Thoughtful discussions about the future of technology

Technology is a force that shapes the future of humanity.

My hope is that this channel helps you navigate the ocean of knowledge, develop real technical skills, and build things that make the world better.

No amount of education ever healed foolishness

Imagine a town where a kitchen fire burns down a house.

The fire marshal proposes that nobody cook at home anymore. Everyone should eat at licensed restaurants, where the stoves are inspected and a fire can be contained.

The marshal also happens to own the town's largest restaurant chain.

That ownership makes neither the fire fake nor inspected stoves a bad idea. But the town would be foolish not to ask two questions before voting.

How many fires would the ban prevent, given that people also burn candles and run space heaters?

And what does the town lose when every meal passes through a kitchen it does not own?

That is the shape of this week's debate, after Anthropic showed a small model running across 15 cheap TV boxes. My take, and the test I'd apply to any safety policy:

AI runs on knowledge that belongs to people who are almost never paid for it, and rarely even credited. That's a real problem. JooMMA on PeerLLM is my attempt at solving it.

As of this week, I'm going live with PeerLLM v3.2.0: anyone with spare disk space can host encrypted pieces of expert knowledge. They can't read what they hold. They serve it back when an answer needs it, and they get paid for every piece they serve.

The first knowledge on the network is my own book, The Standard. Answers grounded in it name it as their source.

Hosts get paid today. Authors come next, as I open PeerLLM to the first experts with a slow rollout.

No GPU required. Just a drive, and the belief that what people know is worth keeping, with their names still on it.

You shouldn't need to know what GitHub is to learn how to engineer good software.
AI is making it possible for more people to build an app, a RESTful API, even a full SaaS product. Getting something to work is an exciting beginning. Understanding how to make it reliable, maintainable, and useful to other people is a journey of its own.


Seven years ago I started writing books to make that journey easier. They've always been free on GitHub. But many of the people entering this industry today have never opened GitHub. They come from other professions, bring different experiences, and have wonderful ideas for things they want to build. They deserve access to what we've learned, too.


So I rebuilt my website and gave the books a bookshelf of their own. No account needed. No idea what a repository is needed. Just start learning.
The shelf will keep growing and I'm already working on the next one.
No catch. No ads. No subscriptions. If you'd rather hold a copy, every book is on Amazon and all proceeds go to World Central Kitchen.


Learn, get better at what you do, and teach someone else what you've learned.

The era of prebuilt apps might be wrapping up.

I see a future with one app of all apps. I call it the box. You ask, and it assembles the tools it needs in real time.

How far does this go? Could we one day mutate matter with a prompt?

AI is only as reliable as the human judgment around it

Happy to say PeerLLM v2.17.4 is out.

A hardening release. Every host on the network is steadier under load, keeps the trust it earned instead of losing it on every deploy, and is measured for what it can really do rather than capped at one request at a time.

More importantly, it now runs on an NVIDIA DGX Spark. Linux arm64, with CUDA compiled for the GPU rather than the work quietly landing on the processor.

That took four fixes, and not one of them was about the machine. An amd64 package meeting an ARM box. A CUDA build that exists for x64 and not ARM. A memory check looking for a zero the hardware reports as 64. And a build that compiled perfectly and was then ignored.

I expected three to five times the GPU gain and measured slightly under two, in text chunks per second rather than verified tokens. This machine's advantage is room, not pace.

Autonomy without override is not innovation. It is catastrophe by design.
