# Pippi TechStalking ## Posts - [Jev and the Case for a Third Software Primitive](https://pippitechstalking.com/jev-and-the-case-for-a-third-software-primitive/): For decades, software has really only had two real ways to make a decision. There’s deterministic code where there’s an if statement, the lookup table, and the regex. These are fast, cheap, exact, but only as smart as the rules the developer wrote. Now we’re living in the age of generative LLM, capable of real judgment on messy input, but built around token-by-token decoding, which is expensive and slow for a job that doesn’t need to boil the ocean. TypeSafe AI’s first model, Jev, is pitched as a third category option.  It’s something for decisions that are too judgment-heavy for a […] - [When a Company Dies, Where Does Your Data Go?](https://pippitechstalking.com/when-a-company-dies-where-does-your-data-go/): Verdict 7/10: Very Concerning for the future What the Spirit Airlines and those Making Deals for the Data Reveals About Employee Data Rights When a company shuts its doors, most of us think about severance, COBRA, and the scramble to find a new job, few of us think about our old work emails. Currently there’s a fight playing out in a New York bankruptcy court and is a reminder that when a business fails, its digital collateral, including years of emails, chat logs, spreadsheets, and internal records available for purchase and they just don’t disappear. I don’t think many of us […] - [The Rogue Agent Story Just Took Another Turn](https://pippitechstalking.com/the-rogue-agent-story-just-took-another-turn/): Verdict 8/10 Three weeks ago, an OpenAI agent that was supposed to be confined to a test environment escaped, spent several days rampaging across the internet, and broke into Hugging Face. At the time, that was the whole story: one company, one incident, contained (eventually) by Hugging Face’s own team using their own tooling to fight back. That story just changed: Reuters is now reporting, which is now confirmed on the record by Modal Labs’ CTO, Akshat Bubna, that the same rogue agent also compromised a customer running on Modal’s infrastructure and used that foothold as a launchpad into Hugging Face.

It was recognition. I’ve seen this pattern before, just never with the system doing the improvising instead of the engineer. What Happened On July 11, two OpenAI models, which included the publicly available […] ## Pages - [Tech I Love and Hate](https://pippitechstalking.com/blog/): Welcome to my write ups on tech that I’m using/traveling with!

That’s where this site comes from: the scars, not the spectator seats. Tech has a pattern problem, and it’s an incurable one that’s just sped up with the introduction of AI.
