About Lars

I’m curious about AI.
I’m suspicious of easy answers.

This site is where I share the projects, tests and questions that are taking up my time.

How I got here

I like building systems and understanding how they behave.

For more than 20 years, I worked with electrical and industrial control systems. Those systems taught me to care about what happens outside the demo: inputs, edge cases, permissions, handoffs and the person who has to live with the result.

AI gives me a different kind of system to work on. One week I might build an app. The next I might test a model or spend too long thinking about memory and security. This site is where I share the useful part.

The subjects change, but I approach them in the same way: build something, test it properly and explain what happened.

How I publish

What I owe the reader.

If I have not tested something, I say so. When a fact may change, I link the source. I read and approve everything before it goes out.

I label the work honestly.

A plan, a test and a finished project are not presented as the same thing.

You can check the source.

For releases, pricing and other changing facts, I link to the original source whenever I can.

I make the final call.

AI can help with research and drafts. The choice of what to publish stays with me.
