Living 100% AI — start of an experiment
Three times in my life, the way I think has shifted: code, then data, and now AI. Here's the test I'm starting this week — running every task through the lens of AI — and why.

This week I’m starting a personal experiment: living and working “100% AI.” In practice, every process, every action I take, I try to run through the lens of AI — not as a gimmick, but to see how far it changes the way I produce.
Three shifts
Looking back, I think I’ve thought in three different ways over my life.
The first was programming as a way to automate. Early on, I understood that a task you repeat by hand can become a rule, and a rule can become a program that solves it once and for all. Code was about freeing up time to build something else.
The second was data. Almost a revelation: data lets you understand phenomena. What the eye can’t see, statistics can; machine learning reveals structure where we only perceived noise. And data is everywhere. For years that was my job — helping teams see what their data was actually saying.
The third shift is the one I’m testing now. I believe AI is too important to stay a mere assistant. The point isn’t to hand it the occasional task: it’s to parallelize myself with it — multiplying what I can do and deliver, without losing time on the repetitive.
The hypothesis
I have the technical grounding across many subjects, and the experience to judge a result. What I lack is time. The experiment’s hypothesis is simple: if I put AI at the center of each action rather than at the margins, I should be able to multiply what I produce — and save my attention for what genuinely needs judgment.
The test starts today. I plan to post regular check-ins here: what works, what breaks, what it actually changes in a day. Documenting as I go, without dressing it up.
More soon.
