How I AI: The prompting mistake almost everyone makes
How much of your week goes into fixing what AI just handed you? Not writing from scratch, just cleaning up, correcting, and nudging a draft that looked fine for about ten seconds before you actually needed it to work. That endless back and forth has a name. We call it slop fixing, and there is re…

How I AI: Do these 2 things if you're worried about AI and the environment

How I AI: What is tokenomics, and why should you care
If your organisation has moved its AI licenses onto a per-use plan, every single chat thread your team sends is now adding to a bill.

How I AI: Which AI model should I use for which task?
If you've ever stared at a model picker and wondered whether to click Flash, Sonnet, Opus, Instant, or Think Deeper, you are not alone. These naming conventions are genuinely confusing, and most people just pick something and hope it works. The stakes are higher than they might seem, though. Token …
