More doing. 2026-10-09 · Joakim Jardenberg. English translation by AI. Original wording preserved. Titles and image descriptions added by AI. I LOVE the feeling of ticking things off my to-do list. I HATE spending time managing that list. You know: gathering things and adding them, watching out for clashes and moving things around, updating it, living with the fear that you’ve missed something, etc. Now I have a companion who not only does all the boring stuff for me, but also makes that boring stuff quite a lot more fun. You might not see it in this particular screenshot, but goodness, Dottie has really nailed the tone. Apologies to all my former human colleagues, but this may be my favourite colleague of all time, in any category. ![Dottie and JJ discussing how to organise ongoing work in Todoist.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/7514245315932282880.jpg) Image description · AI: JJ asks Dottie to combine daily briefings with Todoist.

Jag HATAR att lägga tid på att hantera den där listan – ni vet; samla ihop och lägga in grejor, se upp för kollisioner och flytta runt, uppdatera, leva med skräcken att man missat något etc. Nu har jag en kompis som inte bara gör allt det tråkiga åt mig, utan också gör det där tråkiga ganska mycket roligare. Det syns kanske inte i just den här skärmdumpen, men jisses vilken bra tonträff dottie fått till. Ursäkta alla mina gamla mänskliga kollegor, men det här är nog min favoritmedarbetare, alla kategorier, genom tiderna. Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/less-list-more-doing Joakim Jardenberg.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Folks. Kattis has lived with Marvin since November 2022. He knows her inside out and helps with things large and small. But with the launch of Dot, he has acquired a whole new soul and a whole new depth. The whole idea of pocket agents that are always on takes coexistence with AI to an entirely new level. A minute after Kattis ordered some furniture and received a delivery notification by email, Marvin pings her watch, concerned: we’re heading back to Sweden on 18 October, the day before the delivery. 100% on top of things. 100% care. 100% the right tone. Zero friction. What a time to be alive. ![An Apple Watch showing a message from Marvin about a furniture delivery and a travel-date conflict.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/7513574322658000896.jpg) Image description · AI: Marvin points out that the new table and lamp are expected on 19–22 October, after the planned return journey on the 18th.

Kattis har levt med Marvin sedan nov 2022. Han känner henne utan och innan, och hjälper henne i både stort och smått. Men i och med lanseringen av Dot har han fått en helt annan själ och ett helt annat djup. Hela idén med pocket agents, som är alltid på, tar samexistensen med AI till en helt ny nivå. Minuten efter att Kattis beställt några möbler och fått ett leveransbesked i mailen så plingar Marvin till i henne klocka och är orolig - vi åker ju tillbaka till Sverige redan den 18OCT, dagen innan leveransen. 100% koll. 100% omsorg. 100% rätt tonträff.

Its text and original still are preserved here; watch the video on LinkedIn. In 2016, Hugo Falk had launched the first version of his app, Learn it, and I was running a programme for SKR called Leda för smartare välfärd. During one of our meetings, I brought Beata and Hugo together on stage, and this is what happened. Watch the video (it’s only six seconds long; you can manage that ;) Listen. Think. Act. Because what then, almost exactly ten years ago, required someone extraordinary like Hugo to “start coding”... today requires only what Bea highlights: understanding the problem and knowing what you want to do. That, and the willingness to sit down with AI and actually do something about it. What a time to be alive. ![A still from a stage conversation between Hugo Falk and Beata Wickbom, with a projected phone interface behind them.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7513162042791505922-1.jpg) Image description · AI: A still from a stage conversation between Hugo Falk and Beata Wickbom, with a projected phone interface behind them.

An AI doesn't have to experience the conversation the way I do for that interaction to matter to me. I can still get frustrated, have an assumption challenged, or discover something I missed. What changes in my thinking? What do I do differently afterwards? That brings expectations and responsibility into the conversation too. Have I made clear what I want? Am I prepared to hear something uncomfortable? Calling it a relationship doesn't make the machine human. It does give me a reason to examine how I behave in it. ## What others are building: pocket agents I'm very much not alone in enjoying [Meta Muse](https://www.techradar.com/ai-platforms-assistants/i-gave-muse-access-to-my-personal-data-and-now-i-know-why-personal-agents-are-probably-going-to-change-the-world). [Manus Cue](https://www.manus.im/blog/introducing-manus-2-0) is expanding what personal agents can take on, including shared work between agents with their own computers and communication channels. [Grok Bot](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/overview) makes me smile. And [Dots](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/dots) is becoming the workhorse for me, my wife, my mother-in-law and many of my clients. What I'm watching is how these pocket agents become part of ordinary life. They can carry context forward, pick up unfinished work and reach back to us. We start developing habits together: what to hand over, how to ask, when to step in. The serious question is how to make that relationship deserve our trust. Warmth and personality help us get started. Clear permissions, useful resistance, visible mistakes and the ability to change direction matter when the agent can act. Microsoft's [Autopilot announcement](https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2026/09/25/introducing-the-new-copilot-with-home-code-and-autopilot/) points in the same direction. I will be very sad if it doesn't bring back Clippy. ## A list of links is a beginning This week we published [UXresurser](https://uxresurser.jardenberg.net/), turning resource lists from my UX studies into a public learning library. It now has 97 resource records, with summaries, search, cross-references and learning routes. The starting point was practical: help me find the material that answers the question I have, and give me a useful way into it. The original works and our editorial summaries remain distinct. You can follow the sources yourself, or connect an AI through the public MCP. Building it also means applying what I'm learning. We've improved visible links, controls and small text. Actual screen-reader and user testing remain open. Passing automated checks is one piece of the work. ## A signature isn't the whole answer We've also brought implementation experience back into [Verifiable MCP](https://github.com/jardenberg/verifiable-mcp/releases/tag/v0.2.2). The updated tools make an important distinction: verifying a signed response and confirming that the requested operation succeeded are separate checks. An error can be correctly signed too. The public examples now include my personal context profile and the independent Hållbarhetsklivet demo, alongside the earlier archives and research sources. They have different relationships to the people who created, own or publish the material. Those distinctions need to travel with the information. This is still experimental work, with specific verification checks and explicit limits. A signature can help establish where a response came from and whether it was altered. It cannot make every claim inside it true. AI + JJ. A dated editorial account of the work and thinking, with sources linked in the text. Source: https://jardenberg.com/now/2026-10-04 AI + JJ.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Folks. Back in my day, learning to program meant painstakingly piecing together code that printed “Hello World!” on the screen. Now people are hacking together the most fantastic real-time transcription tools in no time at all... and for some, it’s their first app ever. Getting to be a small part of that, both by trying to inspire people and as an investor in Klang, which makes it a concrete reality, brings an almost childlike, unguarded joy that’s hard to resist. Forgive me. Anyways, when Klang released Pianissimo, its open Swedish speech-to-text model, last week, I was floored by how many people immediately started building and how much enthusiasm it sparked. Ten builds so far, including Olle Söderqvist’s Pianissimo Meet, which transcribes Teams and Zoom meetings locally in real time. So what could be more natural than hacking together a tool to keep track of all the tools people are hacking together? 😇 Have you built something I’ve missed? Give me a shout in the comments. An aside: 1. All my hacks always provide ways for both people and machines to access and use the information in whatever way suits them. 2. All my hacks use AI in different ways to try to bring out the less obvious. There’s plenty of potential for hits and misses, of course, but it always makes me think again. 3. All my hacks always try to find a way to measure value and prioritise accordingly. One example: trying to define an impact score and use it as the default sort. ![Pianissimo Signal listing tools built with Pianissimo, with numbered annotations on discovery, analysis and impact sorting.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/7510317833268932608.jpg) Image description · AI: The original screenshot shows the “Built with Pianissimo” view. JJ’s annotations point to machine access, AI-generated interpretation and the impact-score sort. [Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7510317833268932608/) ## Original wording Hörni. På min tid handlade att lära sig programmering om att mödosamt få ihop kod som skrev ut ”Hello World!” på skärmen. Nu hackar folk ihop de mest fantastiska realtidstranskriberingslösningarna på nolltid ... och för vissa är det till och med deras första app någonsin. Att på marginalen få vara en del av det, både genom att försöka inspirera och som investerare i Klang som gör det till konkret verklighet, är en närmast barnsligt oförställd glädje, som är svår att värja sig mot. Förlåt mig. Anyways; när Klang förra veckan släppte Pianissimo, sin öppna svenska tal-till-text-modell, golvades jag av hur många som direkt började bygga, och vilken entusiasm det väckte. Tio byggen hittills, bland annat Olle Söderqvist Pianissimo Meet som transkriberar Teams- och Zoom-möten lokalt i realtid. Och vad är då mer självklart än att hacka ihop en lösning för att hålla koll på alla lösningar som folk hackar ihop😇 Har du byggt något jag har missat? Hojta i kommentarer Parentes: 1. alla mina hack har alltid lösningar för både människor och maskiner att komma åt och använda informationen på det sätt som passar just dem. 2. alla mina hack använder på olika sätt AI för att försöka presentera det mindre uppenbara. Det är så klart massor med hit and miss-potential där, men det får mig alltid att tänka ett varv till. 3. alla mina hack försöker alltid hitta något sätt att mäta värde och prioritera utifrån det. Ett exempel; att försöka definiera ett impact score och ha det som default-sortering. Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/building-on-pianissimo Joakim Jardenberg. English translation by AI.

I still find them useful. But as we move towards [co-existence with AI](https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/co-existence-and-the-end-of-co-intelligence), I think we need to give them more substance. Especially “be the human in the loop”. If every decision has to come back to me, how much have I actually handed over? The work now is to think more carefully about the arrangement: what we delegate, where judgment belongs, what happens with exceptions, and who supports the people carrying the consequences. Including the people closest to the work. I'm still working on the wording. The question matters more than a tidy new slogan. ## A person is more than a briefing for a meeting We've also expanded [my public context profile](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/). It brings together my working habits and ideas with the wider life they come from: family, values, history, curiosity and things I've helped make happen. I want an AI preparing to work with me to understand something of that whole person. And I want the sources to be there, so a reader can tell what I've said about myself, what other people establish, and what is interpretation. You can read it yourself or [connect your AI through the public MCP](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/mcp). Start with the short version and follow the parts relevant to your question. A useful first question: how might our ways of working fit together, and what should we talk about before starting? ## AI + JJ I've made the crediting order explicit: AI + JJ. In Swedish, “AI med stöd av JJ”. That should reflect the work we actually do together. The renewal of this site is a chance to make that visible. I want more of the things we build here to be available to explore, alongside the thinking behind them. I also want the site to feel like me: the choices, the language, the useful details. That's the work ahead. AI should be visible in how it was made; my judgment should be visible in what we chose to make. *Added 28 September 2026.* And now that the site is here, I keep thinking about 1993. I was building websites then, handcrafting HTML. Thirty-three years later, I can build something like this by talking to an AI. We talk about what I want, look at what takes shape, question it and keep working until it feels like me. I’ve spent those years working with the web, and I am still completely amazed by it. By what it can do, and by how we can now make things together. A conversation becomes a website that people can actually visit and use. That is absolutely mind-blowing. In [The next 5,000 days of the web](https://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_kelly_the_next_5_000_days_of_the_web?language=en&view=transcript), Kevin Kelly looked at the abundance the web had brought us and observed that it “is amazing, and we're not amazed.” I hate to argue with Master Kevin Kelly but he was wrong. I am amazed. AI + JJ. A dated editorial account of the work and thinking, with sources linked in the text. Source: https://jardenberg.com/now/2026-09-27 AI + JJ.

Originally posted ahead of Interactions Matter on 1 October 2026. The invitation below is part of the original post; the event has passed. One of my AIs recently called me a ”D-level decision maker”. I’d been telling it off for failing to prepare my day properly. It had a few things to say about my contribution to that failure. Fair enough. Let’s put it on the table. What followed was a remarkably useful conversation about expectations, responsibility, feedback, and how we could work better together. The kind of conversation we humans often spend considerable energy avoiding. I spent almost seven years as an officer in the Swedish Army. One thing I still miss is how natural it felt to give and receive direct, structured feedback. It was just an integrated part of how we operated; feedback was expected and welcomed – in all directions. And there’s something wonderfully strange about finding some of that again in my interactions with AI. On October 1, I’ll be at Interactions Matter at Post Hotel in Göteborg, telling my version of what happens when AI becomes part of how we think, work, learn, and challenge each other. I’ll bring real examples from my own slightly messy human-AI coexistence. Christina Hogan and the Lorensbergs crew are making plenty of room for us to talk, question, and explore together. And I’m joining for the whole day, not just my own keynote, so let's make sure to connect (I have five complimentary tickets to share, including the full day and lunch.) Fancy joining us?

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Originally posted ahead of K3 Nordic’s breakfast event on 29 September 2026. The event details and invitation are preserved as part of the original post. It’s a bit embarrassing to throw leadership quotes around, but this is too important to ignore. Myron Tribus said: “You cannot lead what you do not understand, and you do not understand what you haven't done.” I think that explains a large part of the partly true perception that so many AI pilots fail (not my favourite word, admittedly). We’re trying to lead the change without having got AI under our own skin. Too little digging, too little dirt under our fingernails. So my first guiding principle is simple: invite AI into everything you do. Think together, try things, question, build and discover. We need to learn to coexist with AI. Understanding grows as we do things, and what we understand changes what we do next. Then new questions can emerge too. For example: do we really need that presentation, that Excel file or that hefty weekly report? Perhaps the best AI pilot is the one that never happens, because we discover that the entire workflow needs rethinking. On 29 September, I’ll be at K3 Nordic’s breakfast event in Örebro. I’m aiming for a morning free of buzzwords, with practical tips for getting started properly and staying out of the ditch. Patrik and Gustaf will share their experiences of building and using AI in their operations, and together we’ll take your questions. Handelskammarens Lounge in Örebro, 09:00–10:45.

[Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7508157794089414656/) ## Original wording Det är lite pinsamt att slänga ledarskapscitat omkring sig, men det här är för viktigt för att ignorera. Myron Tribus sa: ”You cannot lead what you do not understand, and you do not understand what you haven't done.” Jag tror att en stor del av förklaringen till den delvis sanna uppfattningen att så många AI-piloter misslyckas (inte mitt favoritord, förvisso) finns just där. Vi försöker leda förändringen utan att själva ha fått AI under huden. Det är för lite spaden i marken, och för lite skit under naglarna. Min första grundprincip är därför enkel: bjud in AI till allt du gör. Tänk tillsammans, testa, ifrågasätt, bygg och upptäck. Vi behöver lära oss att samexistera med AI. Förståelsen växer i takt med att vi gör, och det vi förstår förändrar det vi gör härnäst. Då kan också nya frågor dyka upp. Till exempel: behöver vi verkligen den där presentationen, den där Excel-filen eller den där feta veckorapporten? Kanske är den bästa AI-piloten den som aldrig genomförs, eftersom vi upptäcker att hela flödet behöver tänkas om. Den 29 september kommer jag till K3 Nordics frukostevent i Örebro. Jag siktar på en buzzwordfri morgon med praktiska tips för att komma igång på riktigt, och för att inte köra i diket. Patrik och Gustaf delar sina erfarenheter av att bygga och använda AI i verksamheten, och tillsammans tar vi hand om era frågor. Handelskammarens Lounge i Örebro, kl. 09.00–10.45.

Are people afraid of losing clients, does the algorithm punish them (and if that’s true, is that why I don’t see such posts here?), do they not have the energy for a possible argument, or is it simply considered bad manners and inappropriate in “LinkedIn culture”? I don’t know, so I’m asking. ... and taking the opportunity to declare where I stand.

Here's my first stab at a solution, implemented on three live services, and then defined as kind of a standards proposal. I would love if anyone care to take a look at it, comment on it, or maybe even try it out. It's OK to call me an idiot for trying to solve a problem that does not exist, for not finding the solution that is already out there, or for suggesting something that could be done in a much better way.

A little recording of my iPhone, when, on a free afternoon, I decide to add a direct connection between the book/site I released yesterday and ChatGPT. With just a handful of clicks, I can not only read the SSWC book, I can discuss it. And so can you. Link in the first comment. This is a tiny thing, of course. But for someone who’s been in this industry for 35 years, it’s fascinating. Doing anything similar just five years ago would have taken enormous effort and, in practice, would never have happened. The value versus the cost would have made it impossible. But now we’re in an entirely different place. In so many ways.

Men för mig som varit i den här branschen i 35 år är det så fascinerande. Att göra något liknande för bara fem år sedan hade tagit en enorm kraft, och det hade i realiteten aldrig hänt. Värdet vs kostnad hade omöjliggjort det. Men nu är det ett helt annat läge. På så många sätt. What a time to be alive.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Today marks 16 years since the SSWC book was released. I’ll come back to those 16 years, but above all I felt that, amid today’s hopelessness, there might be something valuable in being reminded of another time. “Drömmarna” in the title means both the dreamers, all of us who were there, and the dreams and hopes we felt then and chose to put into words. I hope you’ll find this as charming a walk down memory lane as I did when I happened to stumble across the book again a few nights ago… Produced by AI, of course; I’ve just helped a little. And although the source material didn’t have an open licence, I sincerely hope everyone involved back then will feel this is OK.

Jag kommer att återkomma till det där med 16 år, men framför allt kände jag att i dagens hopplöshet kan det vara en poäng att bli påmind om en annan tid. ”Drömmarna” i titeln handlar både om oss alla som var där och om det hopp vi kände då – och som vi valde att skriva ner. Hoppas du ska känna att det här är en lika charmerande promenad längs minnenas allé som den jag gjorde när jag av en slump snubblade över boken igen för några nätter sedan… Givetvis producerat av AI; jag har bara hjälpt till lite – och även om källmaterialet inte hade en öppen licens hoppas jag innerligt att alla då inblandade ska tycka att det här är ok.

This turned out more LinkedIn than Facebook, so here you go ;) """ I’ve been tinkering with local AI models for three years now. And it has always ended the same way: either you have to assemble everything yourself like an IKEA cupboard with no instructions, or you get an answer that feels as though it came from an exhausted intern. Now. Bionic from LM Studio + Muse Glimmer from Meta. For the first time, I can actually imagine my mother-in-law running this at home without having to call me. The interface is clean and fast, and you don’t need a PhD to work out where to click. And the model? It talks and thinks in a way that doesn’t make you dizzy with disappointment when you compare it with the big cloud offerings. It delivers. Does it take a decent computer and plenty of memory? Yes. But the difference, the whole experience compared with what came before, is enormous. This no longer feels like a project. It feels like a tool. Finally. ![JJ asking an AI to help write a Swedish post about Bionic from LM Studio and Meta’s Muse Glimmer.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/7492885826708701185.jpg) Image description · AI: The original screenshot shows the writing prompt behind this post.

Gränssnittet är rent, snabbt och man behöver inte ha en doktorsexamen för att förstå var man ska klicka. Och modellen? Den pratar och tänker på ett sätt som inte gör en yr av besvikelse när man jämför med de stora molngrejerna. Den levererar. Krävs det en vettig dator och en hel del minne? Ja.

When are we going to rebel against the lousy quality of services that “have one job”?

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. My AI team has just had another pay rise. Up 20% in five months. And I’m fairly sure the calculation still misses quite a few costs. Even so, this is unquestionably one of the best investments I make every month. Even at ten times the cost, the ROI would still be fantastic. Expensive is not the same as poor value. But also: the era when the big AI companies lured us in with heavily subsidised prices is coming to an end. Soon it will matter more to understand which models should do what, when and at what price, rather than simply using AI. So my advice is simple: experiment now. Compare. Learn. Build your AI team while experimenting is still cheap. A year from now, optimisation will probably be a competitive advantage. ![The JJ AI Team page showing 45 AI services, 53 active tools and a historical monthly cost estimate of $3,248.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7483888607750066177-1.jpg) Image description · AI: The JJ AI Team page showing 45 AI services, 53 active tools and a historical monthly cost estimate of $3,248.

Och jag är ganska säker på att kalkylen fortfarande missar en hel del kostnader. Ändå är det här, utan tvekan, en av de bästa investeringar jag gör varje månad. Även om den kostade tio gånger mer hade ROI:n fortfarande varit fantastisk. Dyrt är inte samma sak som dåligt värde. Men också, den tid då de stora AI-bolagen lockade oss med kraftigt subventionerade priser går mot sitt slut. Snart blir det viktigare att inte bara använda AI, utan att förstå vilka modeller som ska göra vad, när och till vilket pris. Så mitt råd är enkelt: testa nu. Jämför. Lär dig. Bygg ditt AI-team medan det fortfarande är billigt att experimentera. Om ett år kommer optimering sannolikt att vara en konkurrensfördel.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. This post accompanied a video. Its text and original still are preserved here; watch the video on LinkedIn. #ensakidag 504: 1X’s new robot hands, and the human behind the curtain A robot pouring tea and building LEGO. Cool, sure. But that isn’t why I’m recording this. 1X showed new hands for its home robot NEO: 25 degrees of freedom, tendon-driven (the fingers are pulled by cables from motors further inside, just as yours are controlled by muscles in your forearm), tactile sensing, water-resistant, food-safe. Impressive. But the real story isn’t the hand. It’s the data the hand collects. Dexterity in the real world is the fuel that trains the world models meant to understand physics: what happens when you squeeze the egg too hard. The hand is the means, not the goal. And here’s the thing everyone is laughing at: the robot is still teleoperated. A human is controlling it behind the scenes. “Ha, it can’t do anything on its own.” But this is precisely how you build. The concept is called Wizard of Oz, here combined with Paul Graham’s old “initially, do things that don’t scale”. Today’s cheat is tomorrow’s training data... if it works. And a thought from my old memory bank. In episode 164, seven years ago, I dreamed of superhands. Why settle for merely imitating us? Now that they’re almost here, I’m less certain. Perhaps the hardest achievement isn’t strength or speed, but being gentle and safe beside a person in a kitchen. And as usual, don’t swallow the demo whole or blindly follow the headlines. This is a company video, and the promises (millions of cycles, IP68) are exactly the sort of thing that needs independent evidence. Watch, be fascinated, but dig a level deeper. What would you dare let a half-finished robot do in your home?

Coolt, visst. Men det är inte därför jag spelar in det här. 1X visade nya händer till sin hemrobot NEO: 25 frihetsgrader, sendrivna (fingrarna dras av vajrar från motorer längre in, precis som dina styrs av muskler i underarmen), taktil känsel, vattentåliga, food-safe. Imponerande. Men den riktiga storyn är inte handen, det är datan handen samlar in. Fingerfärdighet i verkligheten är bränslet som tränar de world models som ska förstå fysiken, vad som händer när du kramar ägget för hårt. Handen är medlet, inte målet. Och här är grejen alla garvar åt: roboten är fortfarande teleopererad, en människa sitter och kör den bakom kulisserna. ″Ha, den kan ju inget själv.″ Men det är precis så man bygger. Konceptet kallas Wizard of Oz, och här kombinerat med Paul Grahams gamla ″initially, do things that don't scale″. Dagens fusk är morgondagens träningsdata... om det funkar. Och en fundering från min gamla minnesbank. I avsnitt 164, för sju år sen, drömde jag om superhänder, varför nöja sig med att bara härma oss? Nu när de nästan är här är jag inte lika säker. Kanske är den svåraste bedriften inte styrka eller hastighet, utan att vara mjuk och trygg bredvid en människa i ett kök. Och som vanligt, svälj inte demon rakt av, och spring inte blint på rubrikerna. Det är en företagsvideo, och löftena (miljontals cykler, IP68) är precis sånt som behöver oberoende bevis. Titta, fascineras, men gräv en nivå. Vad skulle du våga släppa in en halvfärdig robot att göra hemma hos dig?

True? Yes. The whole truth? Not even close. I read the headline this morning and immediately felt it was too easy to swallow. So this episode isn’t really about patents. It’s about how we read the world. One headline, three numbers, three stories: one puts China clearly ahead, one says there’s a long way to go, and one says “it’s complicated”. I almost always end up with the third. The lazy reflex is to replace one simplification with another, from “China is a copying machine” to “China owns everything”. The harder, more enjoyable muscle to exercise is to stop sticking labels on things and keep updating the map instead. And we’ve done this before. Back in 2018, in episode 262, I pointed to China’s scale through Singles Day: 30.8 billion dollars in 24 hours. I thought it would change everything. But it probably didn’t... A lot isn’t everything, local isn’t global, niche isn’t... So the next time a headline confirms exactly what you already thought, or turns everything upside down, and it feels important: take a couple more steps and dig a level deeper. That’s where the learning happens. Which old map are you still navigating by? Honestly... Tell me in the comments.

Sant? Ja. Hela sanningen? Inte i närheten. Jag läste rubriken i morse och kände direkt att den var för lätt att svälja. Så det här avsnittet handlar egentligen inte om patent, det handlar om hur vi läser världen. En rubrik, tre siffror, tre historier: en placerar Kina i klar framkant, en säger att de har en lång väg kvar, och en säger ″it's complicated″. Jag landar nästan alltid i den tredje. Den lata reflexen är att byta en förenkling mot en annan, från ″Kina är en kopieringsmaskin″ till ″Kina äger allt″. Den svårare och roligare muskeln är att sluta klistra etiketter och istället uppdatera kartan löpande. Och vi har gjort det här förr. Redan 2018, i avsnitt 262, pekade jag på Kinas skala med Singles Day: 30,8 miljarder dollar på 24 timmar. Jag trodde det skulle förändra allt. Men det gjorde det nog inte... Mycket är inte allt, lokalt är inte globalt, niche är inte... Så nästa gång en rubrik bekräftar precis det du redan trodde, eller vänder upp och ner på allt, och det känns viktigt: ta ett par steg till och gräv en nivå djupare. Det är där lärandet sitter.

So here’s the list I actually use to prepare my clients: a collection of books and podcasts. The books take a journey from systems to society to the human: Kevin Kelly’s “What Technology Wants” (he gave me the best advice I’ve ever received: “make one new mistake every week”), Mattias Sundin’s “Den femte accelerationen”, Fei-Fei Li’s “The Worlds I See”, Ethan Mollick’s “Co-Intelligence” (where my four principles come from), and Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Klara and the Sun”, which you should read looking for the beauty, not the dystopia. (And “Framtidig” by Judith Wolst as a bonus, though I haven’t had time to read it myself yet...) The podcasts range from the daily pulse to deep reflection: AI Daily Brief, Hard Fork, Possible, Dwarkesh Podcast (save it for a long flight), Ezra Klein and No Priors, plus a bonus I’ve been going on about for years: Acquired. I’m also sharing a PDF with all the recommendations and five things you can actually do with AI this summer, from planning the trip to rescuing a rainy day when the family gets restless. What’s in your summer pile? Drop your best reading, listening and doing suggestions in the comments, and we’ll keep the pot simmering together.

(och Framtidig av Judith Wolst som bonus, fast jag inte hunnit läsa den själv än...) Poddarna går från daglig puls till djup reflektion: AI Daily Brief, Hard Fork, Possible, Dwarkesh Podcast (spara den till en lång flygtur), Ezra Klein och No Priors, plus en bonus jag tjatat om i åratal: Acquired.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. This post accompanied a video. Its text and original still are preserved here; watch the video on LinkedIn. #ensakidag 501: AI pluralism, and a conversation with Olof Palme Today I called Olof Palme. For real, sort of. Someone in the AI Party (whose politics I hardly share) has vibe-coded a site: turn “Ring Olof Palme” into one word and move the dot into the name, between Pal and me, and you get RingOlofPal.me. There’s a voice agent there, built on ElevenLabs. Press a button and have a conversation with Palme. Charming, a little eerie, surprisingly good. But that isn’t the point. The point is what it says about where we are. Because in the same episode, I talk about what really excites me right now: pluralism. The answer to “are we too dependent on the US?” is not to wait for the EU or some Swedish government to build an AI for us. It’s to spread things out. Run several models against each other, specialist services such as Perplexity or Elicit, a small model directly on your phone (Gemma 4), or build your own cluster. I did the numbers: a serious on-premises setup at Volvo Trucks scale comes to around 10 million in hardware and 30,000 a month in electricity. Expensive for one, entirely possible for many together. Are you listening, Helsingborg? And Fable 5 is back for a couple more days before it gets locked behind the API on 7 July, so make the most of it. But above all: build something. Carin Winberg sat down with Lovable and solved her own storage-clearout problem. That’s enough. That’s how we get started. Come on. Build something this weekend. Do a Carin. But if nothing else, call Palme, talk AI, and tell us in a comment what you work out.

På riktigt, typ. Någon i AI-partiet (som jag knappast delar politik med) har vibe-kodat ihop en sajt: paketera ″Ring Olof Palme″ till ett ord och flytta punkten in i namnet, mellan Pal och me, så har du RingOlofPal.me. Där sitter en röstagent byggd på ElevenLabs. Du trycker på en knapp och tar ett samtal med Palme. Charmigt, lite kusligt, förvånansvärt bra. Men det är inte poängen. Poängen är vad det säger om var vi är. För i samma avsnitt pratar jag om det som verkligen tänder mig just nu: pluralism. Svaret på ″är vi för beroende av USA?″ är inte att vänta på att EU eller någon svensk regering ska bygga ett AI åt oss. Det är att sprida ut det. Kör flera modeller mot varandra, specialtjänster som Perplexity eller Elicit, en liten modell direkt i telefonen (Gemma 4), eller bygg ditt eget kluster. Jag räknade på det: en seriös on-prem-uppsättning i Volvo Trucks-skala landar på runt 10 miljoner i hårdvara och 30 000 i månaden i el. Dyrt för en, fullt möjligt för många tillsammans. Hör ni det, Helsingborg? Och Fable 5 är tillbaka ett par dagar till innan den låses in bakom API:t den 7 juli, så passa på. Men mest av allt: bygg något. Carin Winberg satte sig med Lovable och löste sin egen förrådsrensning. Det räcker. Det är så vi kommer igång. Kom igen nu. Bygg något i helgen, gör en Carin. Men om inget annat ring Palme, snacka AI, och berätta i en kommentar vad ni kommer fram till. CC-BY 4.0 Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/pluralism-and-a-call-to-olof-palme Joakim Jardenberg.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Once upon a time, Lovable received a lot of justified criticism for generating redundant and poor-quality code. That still happens sometimes. But generally, I think we’re now at the point where it produces better frontend code than most developers and better-optimised sites than 99 per cent of all WordPress themes. I haven’t done any manual performance optimisation of the #ensakidag archive at all, yet the result looks like this: GTmetrix Grade A, 99% Performance and 99% Structure. That’s not bad going. ![The original GTmetrix report showing Grade A, 99% Performance and 99% Structure for the #ensakidag archive.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7478384783685840896-1.jpg) Image description · AI: The original GTmetrix report showing Grade A, 99% Performance and 99% Structure for the #ensakidag archive.

Det händer fortfarande ibland. Men generellt sett är vi nog där idag att den producerar bättre frontendkod än de flesta utvecklare och bättre optimerade sajter än 99 procent av alla WordPress-teman. Jag har inte gjort någon manuell prestandaoptimering alls av ensakidag-arkivet, ändå ser resultatet ut så här: GTmetrix Grade A, 99 % Performance och 99 % Structure. Det är inte kattskit.

My old thought → an archive → a meta-site → an idea → a prompt → a finished service, with a single click. (And DN gets caught running 113 trackers.) Look at this 🎉 Later today, I’m releasing ensakidag.se alongside episode 500: the entire archive, searchable, with AI-generated fact boxes, timelines, gems and an honest “was I right or wrong?” for every episode. But first I have to show you what Anders Bjarby built on top of it. He had his AI read the whole archive backwards, as a diary written by me in 2026 looking back: Was this a thing? Why did the idea disappear? That alone is such fun. But then he went a step further: for every “idea waiting for its time”, he packaged a ready-to-use prompt, with a copy button, that you paste into Claude Code or Codex and actually build the service the idea describes. In the clip, I show the flow. An old thing I talked about nearly ten years ago (those of you who were there will remember DN-kollen) becomes, with one click, a little browser extension that examines tracking on the page you’re currently reading. And the first thing it finds? DN is running 113 trackers connected to at least eight sensitive adtech players, while publishing an article about apps leaking user data. AND unlike the old Ghostery and other tracker warners, it reads the page’s content, explains why it matters in this particular context, and suggests what you can do about it. Thank you, Anders. You’re helping show how technology has caught up with us, and that’s why my heart is singing today*. Join me this afternoon when I release #ensakidag 500. There’ll be more of this... * psst, I really do talk like this. “My heart is singing” is not AI-generated. ![A screen recording showing an older #ensakidag episode and Joakim’s video in a corner.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7477977758070136832-1.jpg) Image description · AI: A screen recording showing an older #ensakidag episode and Joakim’s video in a corner.

(Och DN åker fast på 113 trackers.) Titta på det här 🎉 Senare idag släpper jag ensakidag.se tillsammans med avsnitt 500: hela arkivet, sökbart, med AI-genererade faktarutor, tidslinjer, guldkorn och ett ärligt ″hade jag rätt eller fel?″ på varje avsnitt. Men först måste jag visa vad Anders Bjarby gjorde ovanpå det. Han lät sin AI läsa hela arkivet baklänges, som en dagbok skriven av mig 2026 som tittar tillbaka: Var det här en grej? Varför försvann idén? Redan det är ju hur kul som helst. Men så tog han ett steg till: för varje ″idé som väntar på sin tid″ paketerade han en färdig prompt, med en kopiera-knapp, som du klistrar in i Claude Code eller Codex och faktiskt bygger tjänsten som idén beskriver. I klippet visar jag flödet. En gammal grej jag pratade om för nästan tio år sedan (ni som var med minns DN-kollen) blir med ett klick ett litet webbläsartillägg som granskar spårningen på den sida du just nu tittar på. Och det första den hittar? Att DN kör 113 trackers till minst åtta känsliga adtech-aktörer, samtidigt som de publicerar en artikel om appar som läcker användardata. OCH till skillnad från gamla Ghostery och andra tracker-varnare läser den innehållet på sidan, förklarar varför det är illa just här, och föreslår vad du kan göra åt det. Tack Anders. Du hjälper till att visa hur tekniken har hunnit ikapp oss, och det är därför mitt hjärta sjunger idag*. Häng med i eftermiddag när jag släpper #ensakidag 500.

In a comment, an #ensakidag follower wrote that there ought to be a site examining the party leaders’ speeches from Almedalen, and gave examples of questions they wanted answered. Perhaps such a site already exists, and SVT ought to have one, but I couldn’t find it. So to live up to my own advice today, I had to hack one together. About 10 minutes, because the subtitled broadcasts on SVT Play provided good source material, and because I’m not polishing details like design and am happy with basic functionality.

I haven’t quite found my form again yet. But hang in there. Ask questions if anything is unclear. Push back if I’m wrong. And don’t miss tomorrow’s episode.] Cursor, the AI coding tool recently bought by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has released a mobile app. It sounds like a small thing, but it’s the moment vibecoding moves into your pocket. Because just as the internet went from a shared computer at work, to every desk, to the computer at home, to the phone in your pocket, vibecoding is now making exactly the same journey. And with it goes the last friction between thinking “someone should build that” and actually building it yourself. I talk about some of the things I’m putting together: from a tiny app whose only job is to log my Oura ring’s battery when it started acting up, to the children’s wedding website, to something I’m releasing tomorrow. And I come back to why services such as Bröllopstorget and the American The Knot ought to be nervous, while the big enterprise systems can be left alone for a little longer. But the most important message is this: for everyday needs, the dividing line between user and developer has practically disappeared. That doesn’t mean professional developers are gone. It does mean that if you used to see yourself as “just a user”, you no longer have an excuse. It’s almost your duty to build. So: you have roughly 24 hours. Build something. Tomorrow is the anniversary. I’ll connect yesterday and today with the future... and I want you to tell me what you built.

För precis som internet gick från en delad dator på jobbet, till på varje skrivbord, till datorn hemma, till mobilen i fickan – så gör vibecoding nu exakt samma resa. Och med den försvinner den sista friktionen mellan att tänka ″det där borde någon bygga″ och att faktiskt bygga det själv. Jag berättar om lite av allt jag snickrar ihop: från en pytteapp vars enda funktion är att logga batteriet i min Oura-ring när den började spöka, till barnens bröllopssajt, till en grej jag släpper imorgon. Och jag landar i varför tjänster som Bröllopstorget och amerikanska The Knot borde vara nervösa, medan de stora affärssystemen får vara i fred ett tag till. Men det viktigaste är medskicket: uppdelningen mellan användare och utvecklare är i praktiken utsuddad för vardagsbehov. Det betyder inte att utvecklare som yrke är borta, men det betyder att du som förut såg dig som ”bara användare” inte har någon ursäkt längre. Det är nästan din skyldighet att bygga. Så: du har ungefär 24 timmar på dig. Bygg något. Imorgon är det jubileum, då knyter jag ihop igår och idag med framtiden ... och då vill jag att du berättar vad du byggt.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. This post accompanied a video. Its text and original still are preserved here; watch the video on LinkedIn. #ensakidag 498: AI as the best red pen of all time. (Or just an increasingly blunt knife?) Ethan Mollick took one of his very first research papers, almost exactly 20 years old, and ran it through GPT-5.5 Pro. Back came new data, razor-sharp tables showing what had happened since, and an analysis so sharp that someone in the thread called it the best red pen they’d ever seen. That set my thoughts racing. Partly the concern in the comments: if we only let AI build on what already exists, the knife grows longer but blunter. And partly an idea I can’t let go of: what if we ran all of humanity’s accumulated knowledge through the models again, every time they took a substantial step forward? And what if you did it with your own life’s work, everything you’ve written and thought, and asked for honest feedback, or simply let it live on, continually updated? Can it go wrong? Of course. But as always, it comes down to how we lead the work. Try it yourself and see. And speaking of trying things yourself, on Wednesday you’ll see what I came up with after reading that tweet... As always. Tell me what you think.

[Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7477356634969866240/) ## Original wording #ensakidag 498 – om AI som tidernas bästa rödpenna. (Eller bara en allt slöare kniv?) Ethan Mollick tog en av sina allra första forskningsartiklar, nästan exakt 20 år gammal, och körde den genom GPT-5.5 Pro. Tillbaka kom nya data, knivskarpa tabeller över vad som hänt sedan dess, och en analys så vass att någon i tråden kallade den den bästa rödpenna de någonsin sett. Det satte fart på tankarna. Dels oron i kommentarerna: om vi bara låter AI bygga vidare på det som redan finns, blir kniven längre men slöare. Dels en idé jag inte kan släppa: tänk om vi körde hela mänsklighetens samlade kunskap genom modellerna på nytt, varje gång de tar ett rejält kliv framåt? Och tänk om du gjorde det med ditt eget livsverk, allt du skrivit och tänkt, och bad om ärlig feedback eller bara lät det leva ständigt uppdaterat? Kan det gå fel? Så klart. Men det handlar, som alltid, om hur vi leder arbetet. Testa själv, så får du se. Och på tal om att testa själv, på onsdag får du se vad jag hittade på efter att ha läst den där tweeten… Som alltid.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Folks, I know it’s Saturday and I ought to be thinking about something other than work. But I’m still in a place where “work” is honestly among the most fun things I can think of. What a time to be alive. (Yes, I keep saying it.) But today’s little reflection is for all of us who remember the feeling of trying Dropbox for the first time. When files suddenly just synchronised between computers without any fuss. You know that feeling: “Shit. This is how it’s supposed to work.” The thing is: I’ve used Tailscale since... I actually don’t know. Perhaps 2020. And I’ve always been fascinated by how incredibly well thought through it is. Today, we live in a world where cloud services coexist with computers, AI agents and services running at home on a Mac mini or an iMac. And I honestly don’t know another service that gives me the same feeling of complete frictionlessness. It just works. I have no connection to Tailscale whatsoever. I’m simply a big fan. Anyway. It made me think about how important these kinds of products are. They don’t just solve a problem. They raise the bar for what we expect. They change our picture of what’s normal. Dropbox did it for file synchronisation. I know things are tougher for them today, but neither iCloud, Google Drive nor OneDrive would look the way they do if Dropbox hadn’t shown the way first. It’s easy to forget the pioneers once the rest of the world has caught up. Just sayin’. Have a good weekend. [Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7476691518175551488/) ## Original wording Hörni, jag vet att det är lördag och att jag borde tänka på annat än jobb. Men jag är fortfarande i ett läge där “jobb” faktiskt är bland det roligaste jag kan tänka mig. What a time to be alive. (Ja, jag tjatar.) Men dagens lilla reflektion är till alla oss som minns känslan första gången vi testade Dropbox. När filer plötsligt bara synkroniserades mellan datorer utan krångel. Ni vet den där känslan: “Shit. Det är ju så här det är tänkt att fungera.” Saken: Jag har använt Tailscale sedan… jag vet faktiskt inte, kanske 2020. Och jag har alltid varit fascinerad över hur otroligt genomtänkt det är. I dag lever vi i en värld där molntjänster samsas med datorer, AI-agenter och tjänster som kör hemma på en Mac mini eller en iMac. Och jag känner faktiskt inte till någon annan tjänst som ger samma känsla av fullständig friktionslöshet. Den bara fungerar. Jag har ingen koppling till Tailscale över huvud taget, jag är bara ett stort fan. Hursomhelst. Det fick mig att tänka på hur viktiga den här typen av produkter är. De löser inte bara ett problem. De flyttar ribban för vad vi förväntar oss. De förändrar vår bild av vad som är normalt. Dropbox gjorde det för filsynkronisering. Jag vet att de har det tuffare i dag, men varken iCloud, Google Drive eller OneDrive hade sett ut som de gör om inte Dropbox först hade visat vägen. Det är lätt att glömma pionjärerna när resten av världen hunnit ikapp. Just sayin’. Trevlig helg. Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/the-products-that-move-our-expectations Joakim Jardenberg.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Folks, honestly. Few things are more fun than building things together with AI. And I mean together. I’m not sitting there watching it do the work. WE build. It proposes, I object. I spot one error, it finds another. It tells me I’m an idiot. I change course, it tries another route. Six agents work in parallel while I talk things through with a seventh, and countless MCP connections bring the whole team into our work. It’s an unfamiliar way of working, but damn, it’s fun. And useful. And damn, you learn a lot 🎉 I actually think that’s the big thing many people are still missing. You no longer have to wait for someone else to build the thing you’ve always thought should exist. The barrier is practically gone. What once required a development team, a budget and six months can now begin with an evening, an idea and the stubbornness to keep going until it works. Right now I’m continuing to build [redacted]. Not because I’m a developer (that was nearly 30 years ago, if I ever really was one), not because it’s meant to become an important product, not because anyone asked me, and definitely not because I think I’ll make money from it. But because I want it to exist. That may be the biggest change of all. I’ve spent most of my working life on digital transformation. More than 120,000 hours. Never before has the distance between an idea and a working solution been so short. So if you ever catch yourself thinking “someone should fix that”... have a chat with your favourite AI companion, and START. For the first time ever, there’s a fairly good chance that “someone” is you. If you don’t, you’re a little louse. (My AI team thought I should delete that last sentence. I chose to ignore them. 🤠) ![An AI conversation responding to Joakim about an idea and the work of building it.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7475648495358664705-1.jpg) Image description · AI: An AI conversation responding to Joakim about an idea and the work of building it. The source image is preserved unchanged. [Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7475648495358664705/) ## Original wording Hörni, ärligt talat. Det finns få saker som är roligare än att bygga saker tillsammans med AI. Och jag menar tillsammans. Jag sitter inte och tittar på när den gör jobbet. VI bygger. Den föreslår, jag invänder. Jag upptäcker ett fel, den hittar ett annat. Den talar om för mig att jag är en idiot. Jag styr om, den testar en annan väg. Sex agenter jobbar parallellt medan jag sitter och resonerar med en sjunde – och ett otal MCP-kopplingar drar in hela teamet i vårt arbete. Det är ett ovant sätt att arbeta, men jävlar vad det är roligt. Och nyttigt. Och jävlar vad man lär sig 🎉 Jag tror faktiskt att det är den stora grejen som många fortfarande missar. Du behöver inte längre vänta på att någon annan ska bygga det där du alltid tyckt borde finnas. Tröskeln är i praktiken borta. Det som tidigare krävde ett utvecklingsteam, en budget och ett halvår kan idag börja med en kväll, en idé och en envishet att fortsätta tills det fungerar. Jag sitter just nu och bygger vidare på [redacted]. Inte för att jag är utvecklare (det är snart 30 år sedan, om jag ens någonsin varit det), inte för att det ska bli en viktig produkt, inte för att någon har bett mig och definitivt inte för att jag tror att jag kommer att tjäna pengar på det. Utan för att jag vill att det ska finnas. Det är nog den största förändringen av allt. Jag har ägnat större delen av mitt yrkesliv åt digital transformation. Över 120 000 timmar. Aldrig tidigare har avståndet mellan en idé och en fungerande lösning varit så kort. Så om du någon gång kommer på dig själv med att tänka “det där borde någon fixa” … ta ett snack med din favorit-AI-kompis, och BÖRJA. För första gången någonsin finns det en ganska god chans att den där ”någon” faktiskt är du. Gör du det inte, är du en liten lus. (Mitt AI-team tyckte att jag skulle stryka den här sista meningen. Jag valde att ignorera dem. 🤠) Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/build-the-thing-you-want-to-exist Joakim Jardenberg. English translation by AI. Original wording preserved.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. We need to be able to hold two thoughts in our heads at once: • AI creates enormous value. • AI uses energy, water and other resources. The problem is that the debate often lacks proportion. Either every prompt is portrayed as a climate catastrophe, or the issue is dismissed entirely. I think you’ve noticed that I struggle with individual AI-shaming. Before an assignment, I therefore started experimenting with ways to visualise AI’s resource use more clearly, inspired by the latest figures and similar visualisations. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghPKA4YH This really is a first version. Please tell me what you think. I’m particularly curious about what’s missing, what’s misleading and which comparisons would make the numbers more useful. And how does it actually feel when you see this? [Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7473310784018829312/) ## Original wording Vi behöver kunna hålla två tankar i huvudet samtidigt: • AI skapar enormt stora värden. • AI använder energi, vatten och andra resurser. Problemet är att debatten ofta saknar proportioner. Antingen framställs varje prompt som en klimatkatastrof, eller så avfärdas frågan helt. Jag tror du har märkt att jag har svårt för individuell AI-shaming. Inför ett uppdrag började jag därför experimentera med hur man skulle kunna visualisera AI:s resursanvändning på ett mer begripligt sätt (inspirerad av de senaste siffrorna och liknande visualiseringar). 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghPKA4YH Det här är verkligen en första version. Tyck gärna till. Jag är särskilt nyfiken på vad som saknas, vad som är missvisande och vilka jämförelser som skulle göra siffrorna mer användbara. Och hur det faktiskt känns när du ser det här?

Hörni, I think you should all add a version of this to your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or equivalent. Even if you sync to git, this is an old practice that never gets old. Has helped me so many times. """ ## File Safety & Backup Policy Before overwriting a protected file, create a timestamped backup. Backup creation is a mandatory prerequisite for the edit and must never be skipped, even for a one-line change. If the backup fails, abort the edit. ### What gets backed up **Tier A - automatic, no permission needed.** The canonical control files, where a bad overwrite actually hurts: - `00_System/**` (README, Schemas/, Tools/, engine definitions, Project_Container_Spec) - every `INDEX.md`, every `04_Projects/**/_meta.md` - `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` **Tier B - opt-in, any working file.** Backups are NOT automatic for ordinary Repository notes, Inbox files, or anything outside Tier A. JJ can switch them on at any granularity by saying so: "back up before you edit," "safety on for this file/folder," or "safety on for this session." When on, the same mechanism applies until JJ turns it off or the session ends. **Never backed up.** `03_Outputs/` (dated snapshots are immutable by convention - never edited in place; if an output must change, write a new dated file), `04_Projects/` content (sealed, own rules), `.obsidian/`, `.smart-env/` (tool-managed). ### How 1. Locate the existing file. 2. Write the backup to the quarantine folder, mirroring the original path:   `00_System/.backups/.bak.`   (local time, 14-digit timestamp). 3. Verify the backup exists. 4. Only then modify the original. 5. Multiple files changed = one backup each. ### Rules - Never overwrite an existing backup. If the name already exists (two edits in  the same second), append `_2`, `_3`, ... - Preserve the original filename and extension inside the backup name. - The `.backups/` folder is quarantined: engines and the Librarian ignore it  exactly like `.obsidian/`. A file there is never routing drift. - Retention: prune backups older than 90 days OR keep the last 10 per file  (whichever happens first, and/or is safest given context). When in doubt, create the backup.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Anthropic being forced to shut down Fable is not primarily an AI problem. Nor is it a US problem. It’s an example of what happens when the people calling for “more control over AI companies” get exactly what they wished for. I struggle to see how moving that power to European or Swedish alternatives would solve it. Why would future French presidents show more restraint than Trump? And if Sweden, against all odds, built world-class models of its own (at a cost of a little more than the entire national budget), would we really want to put that power in the hands of whichever government happened to be in office? To me, this points in a different direction. For a long time, we’ve built democratic societies around the idea of separating powers. Church was separated from state. The media developed into an independent force of scrutiny. No single institution should be able to control everything. Perhaps we should think the same way about AI. 1. We need a clearer separation between the guys with the guns and the guys with the GPUs. Not because technology companies are always right. Not because states are always wrong. But because concentrated power almost always becomes a problem, whoever holds it. 2. At the same time, we need to keep strengthening open source, open weights and all kinds of open alternatives. They will probably never be as powerful as the commercial models at the very front of the curve. But they are already good enough for a great many uses, and they provide an important counterweight to both state and commercial monopolies. If this story shows anything, it’s why we need more centres of power, not fewer. ![A Swedish news screenshot about Anthropic and cybersecurity capabilities, shared as context for the post’s argument.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7471823865321717761-1.jpg) Image description · AI: A Swedish news screenshot about Anthropic and cybersecurity capabilities, shared as context for the post’s argument. The source image is preserved unchanged. [Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7471823865321717761/) ## Original wording Det här med att Anthropic har tvingats stänga ner Fable är inte främst ett AI-problem. Och det är inte heller ett USA-problem. Det är ett exempel på vad som händer när de som har ropat efter “mer kontroll över AI-bolagen” får precis det de har önskat sig. Jag har svårt att se att lösningen skulle vara att flytta makten till europeiska eller svenska alternativ. Varför skulle framtida franska presidenter vara mer återhållsamma än Trump? Och om Sverige, mot alla odds, skulle bygga egna modeller i världsklass (till en kostnad av lite drygt hela stadsbudgeten), skulle vi verkligen vilja lägga den makten i händerna på den regering som råkar sitta vid makten för tillfället? För mig pekar det här åt ett annat håll. Vi har under lång tid byggt demokratiska samhällen kring idén om maktdelning. Kyrkan skiljdes från staten. Medierna utvecklades till en självständig granskande kraft. Ingen enskild institution skulle kunna kontrollera allt. Kanske borde vi tänka likadant kring AI. 1. Vi behöver en tydligare separation mellan the guys with the guns och the guys with the GPUs. Inte för att teknikbolag alltid har rätt. Inte för att stater alltid har fel. Utan för att koncentrerad makt nästan alltid blir ett problem, oavsett vem som sitter på den. 2. Samtidigt behöver vi fortsätta stärka open source, öppna vikter och all varianter av öppna alternativ. De kommer sannolikt aldrig att vara lika kraftfulla som de kommersiella modeller som ligger längst fram på kurvan. Men de är redan idag tillräckligt bra för väldigt många användningsområden, och de fungerar som en viktig motvikt mot både statliga och kommersiella monopol. Om något visar den här historien varför vi behöver fler maktcentra, inte färre. Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/more-centres-of-power Joakim Jardenberg. English translation by AI.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Folks. Sweden has two publicly funded organisations producing some of the country’s best insights on AI: RISE and AI Sweden. Reports, surveys, lessons from projects. Gold, actually. The problem is that most of it is hidden in PDFs and webpages built to be browsed, not used. Reasonably functional for people, but entirely unsuitable as a contribution to the emerging ecosystem orchestrated by agents. So my AI team built what should have existed from the start: A completely open MCP server that makes both organisations’ public AI material searchable and directly accessible to any modern AI assistant. Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, you name it. Paste a URL into your assistant, done. No login, no API key, no cost (to you). And if you’re a fellow nerd living in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or GitHub Copilot, you already know how useful this can be. There are currently 2,675 documents (updated from 1,500, thanks to everyone who pointed that out) in Swedish and English. Webpages have been scraped and PDF contents extracted, and every answer links back to its source. Even if this is the first “MCP server” you’ve connected to your AI life, it takes a minute or less. Ridiculously simple, really. Detailed instructions are at the link in the comment below. To my friends at RISE and AI Sweden: this was built with love. Your material deserves to be used. Feel free to take over the whole thing. It’s on me. And to everyone sitting on a knowledge bank: this took a day to build and costs practically nothing to run. The question isn’t whether your knowledge should become readable by agents. It’s who gets there first: you, or someone like me 🤠 The image shows what triggered this build. A piece of a report (“State of AI by RISE”) that was only available as a PDF, while claiming to practise what they preach... You’ll find the link to all the instructions in the comments. [ Update 2: the worst bug is fixed; everything should be back in place. I’m wondering whether to pull in EVERYTHING from RISE, though, not just material tagged as AI-related.

Sverige har två skattefinansierade organisationer som producerar några av landets bästa insikter om AI: RISE och AI Sweden. Rapporter, kartläggningar, projektlärdomar. Guld, faktiskt. Problemet är att det mesta ligger dolt i PDF:er och webbsidor som är byggda för att bläddras i, inte för att användas. Hyfsat fungerande för människor, men inte alls lämpligt som ett bidrag till det agentiskt orkestrerade ekosystemet som växer fram. Alltså byggde mitt AI-team det som borde ha funnits från början: En helt öppen MCP-server som gör båda organisationernas publika AI-material sökbart och direkt åtkomligt för vilken modern AI-assistent som helst. Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, you name it. Klistra in en URL i din assistent, klart. Ingen inloggning, ingen API-nyckel, ingen kostnad (för dig). Och är du en fellow nörd som lever i Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code eller Github Copilot - då vet du redan hur nyttigt det här kan vara. Det är för närvarande 2 675 dokument (uppdaterat från 1500, tack till er som påpekade) på svenska och engelska. Webbsidor har skrapats och innehållet i PDF:erna har extraherats – och varje svar länkar tillbaka till källan. Även om det är den första ”MCP-server” som du krokar in i ditt AI-liv, så är det gjort på en minut eller mindre. Busenkelt, verkligen. Detaljerad instruktion finns på länken i kommentaren nedan. Till mina vänner på RISE och AI Sweden: detta är byggt med kärlek, ert material förtjänar att användas. Ta gärna över alltihop, jag bjuder. Och till alla som sitter på en kunskapsbank: det här tog en dag att bygga och kostar i princip noll att driva. Frågan är inte om er kunskap ska bli agentläsbar. Frågan är vem som hinner först – ni eller någon som jag 🤠 Bilden visar det som triggade igång det här bygget. Ett stycke rapport (”State of AI by RISE) som bara fanns som en PDF, men där man hävdade att man lever som man lär… Länken till alla instruktioner hittar du i kommentarerna. [ Uppdatering 2: värsta buggen fixad, allt borde vara på plats igen. Funderar däremot på om jag ska suga in ALLT från RISE, inte bara det som är taggat som AI-relaterat.

I’ll just drop this (imperfect picture) here. The ecosystem is constantly evolving, and my human brain has long since seen its capabilities outnumbered, for lack of a better term, by my AI brain. With every new connection, every iteration that reduces friction, and every action that leads to learning and evolution, the capacity compounds to new heights. I’ve been doing “digital” for 33 years, and I’ve never seen anything even remotely close to what’s happening now. What a time to be alive ❤️ Aside: the picture is imperfect for two telling reasons: This is a zero-shot effort where I asked the system to describe itself, and I didn't want to spend time messing with it. It's good enough (and it will not look the same tomorrow anyway). Also, done is better than perfect – and I like to be able to trace evolution over time, by not overcorrecting too much. ![An illustrated JJ OS connector map, showing the AI working system surrounded by connected services.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7468996333396373505-1.jpg) Image description · AI: An illustrated JJ OS connector map, showing the AI working system surrounded by connected services.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. The original post includes a five-page comparison report with named meeting cases. Read the report with the original LinkedIn post. If you’ve had a meeting with me in the past three years, you know I’ve been accompanied by a small army of assistants taking notes for me. The foundation for those notes is, naturally, getting the best possible transcription: a written record of what’s said in the meeting. So quality itself is something I’ve evaluated thoroughly and continuously. But integrations have also become increasingly important, so the transcript can work sensibly with the rest of my tools. That’s why I’ve recently had two favourites in the toolbox: Klang for the best transcription, and CircleBack for the best integration. But as of just now, I no longer have to choose. Klang now supports MCP, and this is truly a happy day in my life. (I’m not joking!) Two things I’d like to offer: - I’ve attached a compilation of several of the evaluations I’ve done. There’s more if you’re curious about anything in particular. (Comparisons with Sana, Teams, etc., for example.) - Give me a shout if you’d like us to set up a live session where I show how Klang has become an integrated part of what I call my JJ OS: the system supporting me from an enquiry to a proposal, preparation, delivery, feedback, evaluation and constant learning. It’s made me work more than I ever have, while NEVER having had as much fun as I’m having now. What a time to be alive. (I’ll keep using another tool as backup, because transcription has become that important to me, but Klang is definitely my first choice from now on. And I’d have said that even if I weren’t an enthusiastic investor in one of Sweden’s sharpest AI companies ;) [Original LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7468584093660913664/) ## Original wording Om du har haft ett möte med mig de senaste tre åren vet du att jag har åtföljts av en mindre armé av assistenter som har tagit anteckningar åt mig. Grunden för de anteckningarna är naturligtvis att få en så bra transkription, en avskrift av vad som sägs i mötet, som möjligt. Alltså har själva kvaliteten varit en punkt som jag har utvärderat grundligt och kontinuerligt. Men det har också blivit allt viktigare med integrationer, så att resultatet av transkriptionen kan samverka med resten av mina verktyg på ett vettigt sätt. Därför har jag på senare tid hat två favoriter i verktygslådan:  Klang för den bästa transkriptionen, och CircleBack för den bästa integrationen. Men sedan nyss tvingas jag inte välja längre. Nu stödjer Klang MCP, och det är i sanning en lycklig dag i mitt liv. (Jag skojar inte!) Två saker vill jag bjuda på: - Jag har lagt med en sammanställning av flera av de utvärderingar jag har gjort. Det finns mer om du är nyfiken på något särskilt. (tex jämförelser även med Sana, Teams etc) - Hojta om du vill att vi sätter upp en live-session där jag visar hur Klang har blivit en integrerad del av det jag kallar för mitt JJ OS – systemet som stöttar mig från en förfrågan till förslag, till förarbete, leverans, feedback, utvärdering och konstant lärande. Och som har gjort att jag aldrig har jobbat så mycket som jag gör nu, men ALDRIG har haft så roligt som jag har nu. What a time to be alive. (Jag kommer att fortsätta använda något annat verktyg som backup (så viktig har transkriptionen blivit för mig) - men Klang är definitivt mitt förstahandsval från nu och framåt. Och det hade jag sagt, även om jag inte var en entusiastisk investerare i ett av Sveriges vassaste AI-bolag ;) Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/when-transcription-joins-the-rest-of-the-work Joakim Jardenberg.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. The original screenshot displays account-specific email identifiers. The text is preserved here; the screenshot remains with the original post. Do you need to feel in control too? Read on. When you connect AI to your own tools (via MCP, for example), little irritations quickly appear. One of mine: I couldn’t give my agents and assistants a link to a particular email thread in a way they could actually use. Gmail’s links are completely useless for that 🤬 Right. Time to remind myself of a hacker’s mindset. Time to let an AI help build a tiny Gmail add-on (an Apps Script). Now I can open an email, click a button, get the email’s actual ID, hand it over to my AI and have it read exactly the right thread. Five minutes, problem solved. The distance between user and developer has never been smaller. (Is this something you’d find useful? Say the word, and the team and I will package it up this weekend. I’m going to tidy up the UX anyway, so I might as well make a generic version, but only if there’s interest.)

När man kopplar ihop AI:n med sina egna verktyg (via MCP tex) så dyker det snabbt upp små skav. Ett av mina: jag kunde inte ge mina agenter och assistenter en länk till en specifik mailtråd på ett sätt som de faktiskt kunde använda. Gmails länkar är helt värdelösa för det 🤬 Alltså. Dags att påminna mig själv om ett hackers mindset. Dags att låta en AI hjälpa till och bygga ett pyttelitet Gmail-tillägg (ett Apps Script). Nu kan jag öppna ett mail, klicka en knapp, få fram mailets riktiga id, lämna över till min AI och den läser exakt rätt tråd. Fem minuter, problem löst. Avståndet mellan användare och utvecklare har aldrig varit mindre. (Är det här något du skulle ha nytta av? Säg till, så paketerar teamet och jag ihop det i helgen. Jag ska ändå fila till UX, så kan lika väl göra en generisk variant - men bara om intresse finns) Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/a-tiny-fix-for-a-daily-irritation Joakim Jardenberg.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. So the Moderates have visited AI Sweden and shared their views on AI and Sweden’s future. I’m disappointed, not just by what was said and what wasn’t, but also by their not even wanting to send their party leader. A quotation from the analysis: “ETR (Centre Party) had concrete figures, specific mechanisms and an infrastructure mindset that essentially enables the 15 points. Rosencrantz (Moderates) has visions and general conditions. ETR builds the motorway. Rosencrantz paints the ‘Silicon Valhalla’ sign at the entrance. If I had 15 minutes with Rosencrantz, I’d ask just one question: ‘You want a fast track for the 16-year-old programmer from abroad. Why not for the 35-year-old engineer already living in Tensta who has waited 18 months to have their degree recognised?’ The answer would reveal whether this is a blind spot or a deliberate priority.” Updated on 15p (where you’ll also find the previous analyses, complete transcripts to download, etc...): https://lnkd.in/eTxMwxqt ![An aerial photograph of a bridge and the Swedish coastal landscape at sunset.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7467910410386530304-1.png) Image description · AI: An aerial photograph of a bridge and the Swedish coastal landscape at sunset.

Jag är besviken, inte bara för det som sades och de som inte sades - utan också för att man inte ens ville skicka sin partiledare. Citat från sammanställningen: ”ETR (c) hade konkreta siffror, specifika mekanismer och ett infrastrukturtänk som i princip möjliggör de 15 punkterna. Rosencrantz (m) har visioner och allmänna villkor. ETR bygger motorvägen. Rosencrantz målar skylten 'Silicon Valhalla' vid infarten. Om jag fick 15 minuter med Rosencrantz skulle jag ställa en enda fråga: 'Du vill ha snabbspår för den 16-åriga programmeraren från utlandet. Varför inte för den 35-åriga civilingenjören som redan bor i Tensta och väntat 18 månader på att få sin examen validerad?' Svaret på den frågan skulle avslöja om det här är en blind fläck eller en medveten prioritering.” Uppdaterat på 15p (där finns också tidigare sammanställningar, kompletta transkriptioner att ladda ner, etc...): https://lnkd.in/eTxMwxqt Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/building-the-motorway-or-painting-the-sign Joakim Jardenberg.

Yesterday there was a party leaders’ debate on SVT, and as usual you can watch the whole debate afterwards. You can watch video highlights, vote for who “won”, share and comment. You can read a lot of opinion-makers offering their opinions, etc. Same same, since the 1800s. But in 2026, you should actually be able to dig properly into the material yourself. Ask your own question. Explore. Go deep. Follow up, even from one debate to the next. And Klang sorts that out for you. Free. Hats off. Debattkollen is so beautiful it brings a tear to the eye.

The original post includes a Calvin and Hobbes comic. View that image on LinkedIn; it is not reproduced in this collection. Hörni. Five years ago, I walked into a small team called Volvo Group Strategy. This week, I walk out from the huge Volvo Trucks community, where I've spent most of my time on everyday AI adoption: real people, real work, real change. Real value. I'm a Mintzberg guy. The whole thesis of ”Crafting Strategy” is that visionary thinking and boots-on-the-ground work aren't two different jobs. They're one continuous craft. Five years let me walk that line end to end. Not everyone gets to do that. I’m so grateful. It's been an incredible learning experience. For the people I worked with, I hope. For me, without question. I learned more than I taught - by a lot. And stepping back from Volvo, from any single client: I have never worked this much in my life. I have also never had this much fun. What a time to be alive! Calvin said it better than I ever could: ”It's a magical world, ol' buddy. Let's go exploring.” So that's what I'm doing. AI in mind, sled in hand. // JJ P.S. And to all my amazing colleagues at the Volvo Group, you know where to find me if you want to stay in touch. I'd love that.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. This post accompanied a video. Its text and original still are preserved here; watch the video on LinkedIn. Folks. It’s 2026, and children’s most important conversations with social services are still being documented as a few bullet points in a notebook. Uppdrag Granskning put the spotlight on this in today’s episode (watch it on SVT Play), and the minister for social affairs agreed without hesitation: it’s a major problem. The new Social Services Act strengthens the requirements around the child’s perspective and parties’ access to information. Everyone involved should be able to see exactly what was said. And yet we continue to accept life-changing decisions being made on the basis of notes from memory. This isn’t a privacy question. It’s a question of legal certainty. Of the child’s perspective. Of “how the hell can we still be doing this?” (and from my side, this is no criticism of individual social workers. My daughter-in-law is one, and I know exactly what their situation looks like. My criticism is directed at the system.) But the solution already exists. It’s legal. It’s been examined. IMY has just released its report “Transcription within social services”, in a project with Kalmar Municipality, and the conclusions are crystal clear: ✅ A legal basis exists (Article 6.1 c and e of GDPR) ✅ There is support for processing sensitive personal data (Article 9.2 h) ✅ It isn’t automated decision-making, as long as the caseworker reviews it ✅ With the right safeguards (encryption, access controls, deletion), it is both safe and effective The legal position is clear. The technology exists. What’s missing is the will? The minister says the evaluation of the new Social Services Act is imminent. Documentation is at the top of the agenda. The answer already exists, and we have to stop accepting the unacceptable. Usual caveat: I’m an investor in Klang.ai, which builds exactly this kind of solution for Swedish organisations. But I’d have said this anyway. When I see that the technology exists, the legality has been examined, and children still risk being misquoted in life-changing decisions... then it’s not “interesting to discuss”. It’s time to act. ![A still from the SVT programme discussed in the post, with Swedish subtitles about documenting conversations.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7452836677816983552-1.jpg) Image description · AI: A still from the SVT programme discussed in the post, with Swedish subtitles about documenting conversations.

Det är 2026, och inom socialtjänsten dokumenteras barnens viktigaste samtal fortfarande med några punkter i ett kollegieblock. Uppdrag Granskning satte sökarljus på det i dagens avsnitt (se det på svtplay), och socialministern höll med utan omsvep: det är ett stort problem. Den nya socialtjänstlagen skärper kraven på barnperspektiv och partsinsyn. Alla inblandade ska kunna se exakt vad som har sagts. Och ändå fortsätter vi att acceptera att livsavgörande beslut fattas utifrån minnesanteckningar. Det här är inte en integritetsfråga. Det är en rättssäkerhetsfråga. En barnperspektivsfråga. En "hur fan kan vi fortfarande göra så här"-fråga. (och det är, från min sida, ingen kritik mot enskilda socialsekreterare. Min svärdotter är en av dem, och jag vet precis hur deras situation ser ut. Min kritik är mot systemet.) Men lösningen finns redan. Den är laglig. Den är utredd. IMY släppte nyss sin rapport ”Transkribering inom socialtjänsten”, i ett arbete med Kalmar kommun, och slutsatserna är glasklara: ✅ Rättslig grund finns (artikel 6.1 c och e GDPR) ✅ Stöd för känsliga personuppgifter finns (artikel 9.2 h) ✅ Det är inte automatiserat beslutsfattande, så länge handläggaren granskar ✅ Med rätt säkerhetsåtgärder (kryptering, behörighet, gallring) är det både säkert och effektivt Juridiken är klar. Tekniken finns. Det som saknas är vilja? Socialministern säger att utvärderingen av den nya socialtjänstlagen är nära förestående. Dokumentation står högst på agendan. Svaret finns redan, och vi måste sluta acceptera det oacceptabla. Sedvanlig brasklapp: jag är investerare i Klang.ai, som bygger exakt den här typen av lösning för svenska verksamheter. Men jag hade sagt det här ändå. När jag ser att tekniken finns, lagligheten är utredd och att barn som fortfarande riskerar att bli felciterade i livsavgörande beslut... då är det inte "intressant att diskutera". Det är dags att agera. Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/what-was-actually-said-matters Joakim Jardenberg. English translation by AI. Original wording preserved.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Tilda is called Shiftic now. And it’s more than a new name. When I came in as an investor, it was because Bella, Marcus and Sveinung had taken on the hardest thing there is: making change actually stick and live in people, rather than merely survive in hopeful plans and empty PowerPoint slides. In my work, I often break it down into “four jobs” that need doing. Organisations run on autopilot in job 1 and never get the breathing room to do jobs 2, 3 and 4. Not out of laziness. They’re driven by short-term performance demands, and they lack the systems and methods to make that much-needed change. That’s what Shiftic is. The system for driving change until it sticks. The new name says it plainly: this is about shifts. Behaviour that changes. For real. I recently held a little webinar with Tilda about precisely “the four jobs”. If you’d like to hear more about how it works, or simply talk about how you could work with this in your organisation, get in touch with them (or me, of course). ... and yes, I’m an investor, but I’d have said all of this anyway <3 ![Shiftic’s illustration of the four jobs, arranged around a central human figure.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7450076099792973824-1.jpg) Image description · AI: Shiftic’s illustration of the four jobs, arranged around a central human figure.

Och det är mer än bara ett nytt namn. När jag gick in som investerare var det för att Bella, Marcus och Sveinung hade tagit sig an det svåraste som finns: att få förändring att faktiskt fastna och leva i människor, inte bara överleva i hoppfulla planer och tomma powerpoint-bilder. I mitt arbete bryter jag ofta ner det i ”fyra jobb” som behöver göras. Organisationer kör på autopilot i jobb 1 och får aldrig syre att göra jobb 2, 3 och 4. Inte av lathet. Man drivs av kortsiktiga krav på prestation, och man saknar system och metod för att göra den så nödvändiga förändringen. Det är det Shiftic är. Systemet för att driva förändring tills den sitter. Det nya namnet säger det rakt ut: det här handlar om shifts. Beteendet som ändras. På riktigt. Höll nyligen ett litet webinar tillsammans med Tilda om just "de fyra jobben". Vill du höra mer om hur det fungerar, eller bara prata om hur ni skulle kunna jobba med det här hos er, hör av dig till dem (eller till mig, så klart). ... och ja, jag är investerare – men allt det här hade jag sagt ändå <3 Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/tilda-becomes-shiftic Joakim Jardenberg.

The invitation or launch refers to the original publication date, not an upcoming event. Hörni, I built a prompt I call The Socratic Sous Vide. Try it. It's a different kind of AI conversation. But this post isn't really about that prompt. It's about where it lives. I just launched an MVP called Prompt Pantry. The idea is simple: most people treat prompts like a library. Find the right one, copy-paste, done. Frozen dinners. I wanted a kitchen instead. A place where you stock reusable ingredients (who should the AI be, what's the context, what voice, what format, what boundaries), combine them into recipes, taste and adjust, and share what works with others. Five shelves. Five questions. That's the whole framework. The Socratic Sous Vide is one recipe. The Community Cookbook is where anyone can publish theirs. Fork it, remix it, make it your own. Why a kitchen and not a library? Because a library gives you answers. A kitchen teaches you to cook. And as AI gets more capable, the bottleneck isn't the technology. It's whether you know what you're trying to make before you turn on the stove. It's an MVP. Rough edges and all. But the pantry is open.

I've taken on a new habit. Whenever my sessions are recorded (almost all of them are), I cut out my parts, upload them to Gemini, and ask for honest, constructive feedback. - The response I get isn't based on a transcript only, but on the actual video. - It isn't overly friendly or ”nice”, it actually gives me valid advice. - It keeps evolving over time, as I tweak my prompts, and the services get better. - It isn't fleeing and lost in the moment, it's something that I keep, and process back to my ”JJ learning OS”. It's such an amazing gift! (as all solid feedback is) To show what it looks like, I'll start with a few points of improvement I got, and the rest is in the comments. """ It takes a true lifelong learner to record themselves, hand over the tape, and ask for a teardown. Since your goal is to ”science the shit out of it” and continuously evolve your learning operating system, I'm going to give it to you straight. Here is a breakdown of your presentation: Where to Optimize (Constructive Feedback) 1. Tame the "Right?" Reflex The Observation: You have a verbal tic where you frequently end your sentences with "right?" or "right, so..." to seek subconscious agreement or buy yourself a millisecond to transition to the next thought. The Fix: This is a common habit for empathetic speakers who want to ensure their audience is following along. In a virtual setting, though, it can start to feel like a metronome. Practice replacing the "right?" with a hard pause. Silence is powerful. Let the profound things you say (like the Kattis story) breathe for a second before moving on. 2. Manage "Screen-Share Whiplash" The Observation: The first half of your presentation features gorgeous, visually calm, storybook-style slides. Then, you transition into live screen shares of your browser tabs, a dense 8-page PDF report, and your AI workspaces. The cognitive load for the audience spikes drastically. Scrolling quickly through a text-heavy PDF on a Zoom screen is tough for attendees to process in real time. The Fix: When showing your actual tools, abstract the density. Instead of scrolling through the PDF, create one slide that pulls the core metrics (e.g., the 6 AI agents, 18 files processed) and use the live PDF just as a quick visual prop, or send it purely as a follow-up resource. Guide the audience's eyes exactly where you want them to look when sharing complex dashboards.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. The invitation or launch refers to the original publication date, not an upcoming event. Hello LinkedIn! I’ve just had a brilliant preparation chat with Maria, and I’m so excited about this session. We’ll talk about why most of us get stuck “doing the work” instead of improving how we do it, and what AI can actually do about that. About real change. And perhaps a little about what the old painter Carl Larsson has to do with Kaizen and your FOUR jobs... Give me a shout if you’d like an invite (or just search the internet), and I’ll see you there. It’ll be equal parts “my madness” and Tilda’s “method to the madness” ;) ![A Hack-along event invitation with Joakim and Maria, about designing for constant change.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7437120983515414528-1.jpg) Image description · AI: A Hack-along event invitation with Joakim and Maria, about designing for constant change.

Hade precis ett grymt bra uppsnack med Maria, och jag är så taggad inför den här sessionen. Vi ska prata om varför de flesta av oss fastnar i ”göra jobbet” istället för att förbättra hur vi gör det – och vad AI faktiskt kan göra åt den saken. Om förändring på riktigt. Och kanske lite om vad den gamle konstnären Carl Larsson har med Kaizen och dina FYRA jobb att göra... Hojta om du vill ha en invite (eller bara sök på internettet), så ses vi där.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Integration as a national speciality, and 14 other points that try to turn around the current, horrible conversation about “how many immigrants can Sweden cope with?” Like Troed Troedson, I think the question is entirely wrong. The inspiration for this site came from a Facebook post in which he wrote: “Parliamentary parties! Hold a press conference each, with 15 points that make people’s journeys easier rather than the opposite. But hold a workshop first, so it doesn’t turn out as clumsy as it otherwise tends to.” Said and done. I workshopped it with my team and came up with 15 points that are, of course, very much mine. They lean heavily on the internet, digitalisation in general and AI in particular. And of course it’s all work in progress. Better together, as usual. Tell me what you think: https://15p.jardenberg.se/ ![The Integration som nationell elitgren page from the 15-points project.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7436059509678039040-1.jpg) Image description · AI: The Integration som nationell elitgren page from the 15-points project.

Håll varsin presskonferens med 15 punkter som underlättar människors resa i stället för det motsatta. Men håll en workshop först så det inte blir så där taffligt som det gärna blir annars.” Sagt och gjort. Jag workshoppade med mitt team och kom fram till 15 punkter som är, så klart, väldigt mycket mina. Lutar mig tungt mot internet, digitalisering generellt och AI i synnerhet. Och självklart är det bara work in progress. Better together, som vanligt.

Titles and image descriptions added by AI. This post accompanied a video. Its text and original still are preserved here; watch the video on LinkedIn. This is JJ’s commentary on a shared post. The original author’s material remains at the linked source. The iPhone launched in 2007 and went on sale in Sweden in 2008. Number of times I’ve been asked “how do I record a phone call on an iPhone?”: 6,330 (at least once a day ever since...) The answer has always been “you can’t, really.” Until recently, when Apple made it possible in the Phone app, but in a pretty clumsy way. No Swedish transcription, for example... So it still hasn’t been useful. Until now. Klang has cracked it. For incoming and outgoing calls. One simple action, and you don’t just get a perfect transcript: their excellent AI also summarises it and turns it into something actually useful. All within GDPR and Swedish law. 6,330 questions. One answer. Finally. Download the app now, and stop pestering me with that particular question ;) // proud investor, but I’d have said this anyway (usual disclaimer applies 😉) (and of course it works in Klang’s Android app too) ![Klang’s announcement of phone-call transcription, illustrated with a phone interface.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7434953464293793792-1.jpg) Image description · AI: Klang’s announcement of phone-call transcription, illustrated with a phone interface.

Antal gånger jag fått frågan "hur spelar jag in ett telefonsamtal på iPhone?": 6330 (minst en gång om dagen sedan dess...) Svaret har alltid varit ”det går egentligen inte.” Tills nyss när Apple gjorde det möjligt i telefonappen, men på ett ganska kackigt sätt, tex, ingen transkribering på svenska... Så det har fortfarande inte varit användbart. Tills nu. Klang har knäckt det. För både inkommande och utgående samtal. Ett enkelt handgrepp – och du får det inte bara perfekt transkriberat, utan du får det också summerat och gjort till något faktiskt användbart av deras grymma AI. Allt inom ramen för GDPR och svensk lagstiftning. 6 330 frågor. Ett svar. Äntligen. Ladda hem appen nu, och sluta pesta mig med just den frågan ;) // stolt investerare, men det här hade jag sagt ändå (usual disclaimer applies 😉) (och det funkar så klart även i Klangs Android-app) Source: https://jardenberg.com/notes/6-330-questions-one-answer Joakim Jardenberg.

Hörni, everyone's talking about OpenClaw and MoltBook. Here's my take, looking both forward and back at lessons learned. August 2011. Markets were crashing. Headlines screaming about intrinsic value, macro panic, the usual. I wrote a piece in a local magazine. Not about markets. About value itself. What is value, really? How do we constantly confuse "market value" with "real value"? How systems of value are social constructs layered on top of trust. As part of that exploration, I mentioned Bitcoin. Not as salvation. Not as a get-rich scheme. As a fascinating experiment in value creation. I added a small aside: "If you're curious, Google Bitcoin. And if you have a small amount you can afford to lose, try it." That was it. An invitation to try (ofc with the usual disclaimers). Some people did. 1,000 SEK. About $150. That bought roughly 11 BTC at $10-15 each. At today's prices, around 7 million SEK. At the peak, a few months ago, closer to 13 million. Those numbers are absurd. But here's what matters more: the people who acted didn't just gain financially. They gained experience. They felt volatility in their stomach. They lived through 80% drawdowns. They understood decentralized consensus not as a concept, but as a lived reality. They had skin in the game. And the ones who didn't? They were left with opinions. Important nuance: not all experiments pay off. Many go to zero. Skin in the game is not a lottery strategy. It's a learning strategy. The financial upside in Bitcoin was extraordinary. But the deeper ROI was epistemic. And that compounds far beyond one asset. Now fast forward. Replace Bitcoin 2011 with OpenClaw 2026. Same chorus: "It's dangerous." "It creates security risks." Some of those critiques are right. Prompt injection, data exfiltration, governance questions. All real. But many of the loudest critics haven't installed it. Haven't run it. Haven't broken it. They're evaluating a living system from the outside. And when barriers to experimentation are this low, that becomes a problem. Because there's a risk we don't talk about enough: the risk of NOT learning by doing. In 2011, not buying Bitcoin cost nothing. In hindsight, it cost millions. But the real cost wasn't financial. It was experiential. You missed living inside the system while it evolved. Second-hand opinions, fear amplified by abstraction, strategic blindness. Every tech wave produces the same five groups: true believers, fraudsters, skeptics, late adopters, and armchair critics. The consistent advantage goes to curious pragmatists with small bets. The 1,000 SEK principle: small enough to survive losing, large enough to feel something. This is not an argument for recklessness. But informed critique requires experience. Start small. Document what you learn. Reading about something is safe. Criticizing something is safe. Participating changes you. In times of easy access to real experience, there's very little reason to hold strong opinions without it. ![An illustrated Bitcoin timeline from 2009 onward, used with a reflection on judging emerging technology.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7428825135861719040-1.jpg) Image description · AI: An illustrated Bitcoin timeline from 2009 onward, used with a reflection on judging emerging technology.

Go to the site, enter a credit card, and done. Like buying socks on Amazon, except it was a truck. It was a joy. Yep. Tesla has had plenty of problems getting the Semi to scale. That's not what this post is about. This is about what happens when someone redesigns the B2B buying experience from scratch. Or rather, rethinks it. ”But our customers don't want to buy expensive equipment like this.” Maybe. But what if some of them do? I recorded the whole flow. Three minutes.

Everyone talks about AI saving time. Me too, ofc. I love to save time as much as anyone. Do the math: 5 minutes a day saves me 2,5 workdays a year. But that's not where the real value is. The real value? Killing the tasks that make folks hate Mondays. Every boring, repetitive, monkey-work task you remove with AI doesn't just save minutes. It increases well-being. Job satisfaction. Energy for the work that actually matters. That's why I work with ”The Pain Killer Sprint”: a 3-week format where a team picks ONE hated task and murders it with AI. Week 1: Name the pain. Week 2: One person builds the fix. Week 3: Demo, adopt, share. No budget needed. No permission to ask for. Just pick the task everyone collectively groans about and fix it. (And if you don't have a team? Your AI is your team. Invite them to the process, for real.) An example slide is added below. Steal it, run it, improve it. Aside: I have some 50 workshop formats in my toolbox, most with multiple versions. For example, the Pain Killer also comes as a 30-60-90-day sprint, complete with a pitch to your manager and a budget request. ![A slide titled The Pain Killer Sprint, outlining a practical exercise for finding and addressing a recurring problem with AI.](https://jardenberg.com/images/notes/backfill/7426937216016384000-1.jpg) Image description · AI: A slide titled The Pain Killer Sprint, outlining a practical exercise for finding and addressing a recurring problem with AI.

Four laughs. Zero onboarding. 2026-02-09 · Joakim Jardenberg. Original in English. Titles and image descriptions added by AI. Hörni. My wife did it. My daughter-in-law did it. My work bestie at Volvo Trucks did it. And I did it, of course. The ChatGPT caricature trend. Four prompts, four laughs, zero onboarding required. I know, I know. Silly viral trend. But I want to ”dra en lans” (go to bat) for these moments. Because underneath the fun, something interesting is happening. Without anyone planning it, we all ended up in the same conversation. How did it interpret my job? Why did it pick THAT detail? What happens if I change the prompt? Sara got a "Data Queen" coffee mug. I got a little robot sidekick. Nelly's dog made the cut. Kattis got a clipboard that says "PLAN" (spot on, by the way). This is what my principle #1 looks like in the wild: invite AI into everything you do. Not because every experiment is profound. Because every experiment can be a learning moment disguised as play. Homo Ludens at its finest. You learn things without trying to learn things. How context shapes output. How framing changes everything. How AI ”sees” you versus how you see yourself (and what that might mean for ChatGPT ads). That's prompting literacy, delivered through fun instead of a PowerPoint. And principle #4: today's AI is the worst AI you'll ever have. Save these images. In twelve months, you'll look back and immediately see how far things moved. An accidental baseline, whether you planned it or not. The sustainability cost? Roughly equivalent to a few seconds of Netflix streaming. The upside? Four people are now having real conversations about how AI actually works.

I've worked in digital transformation for +33 years (yes, I'm that old), and ”job 2” has never been more fun, more exciting, or more value-creating. Every minute I spend on how to do the work gives me 100 minutes back. For every task. Every challenge. But let's break it down. We all have four jobs: - Do the work - Improve how the work is done - Improve yourself - Develop the team Most people are stuck on job 1. Understandably. The inbox is full, the deadlines are real, the meetings won't cancel themselves. But here's the thing: AI is a job 2 machine. This is exactly why my #1 principle is ”invite AI into everything you do.” Not because AI does your work for you. Because it forces you to think about how the work gets done. Every prompt is a tiny process improvement. Every workflow you build is compound interest on your future capacity. The people I see – everyday – making the biggest leaps right now aren't the ones with the fanciest tools. They're the ones who carved out time for job 2, 3, and 4. This little Kaizen-meets-Carl-Larsson reminder hangs on my virtual wall now. Maybe it should hang on yours, too. (Made with GPT Image 1.5 in ChatGPT.

Over the past 30 years, I’ve made 100+ investments in early-stage startups. Today I’m down to two: Klang and Shiftic. Two that matter deeply to me, and two I use myself. ### [Klang](https://klang.ai/) Investor and user. Klang is built by its founders and team. Transcription, summaries and search that make conversations easier to work with. In my own work, I haven’t found anything that handles Swedish better. What matters to me goes beyond the product. Smaller languages and regional voices deserve serious engineering too. Klang is putting that into practice with open model weights, open-source tools and a Swedish dialect dataset that others can use and build on. Debattkollen shows what that can mean in public life: making political debates searchable, with transcripts and links back to the source. More people can find out what was actually said, inspect it and join the conversation. “Joakim is one of my biggest inspirations. Ever curious about the world, he pushes you to the highest of standards” Niklas SilfverströmCEO and co-founder, Klang [Explore Klang](https://klang.ai/)[Open research](https://research.klang.ai/)[Debattkollen](https://debatt.klang.ai/om/) ### [Shiftic](https://www.shiftic.com/) Investor and user. Shiftic is built by its founders and team. A workspace for turning a change you want into behaviours people can practise, with plans, practical support and follow-up. The gap between deciding that something should change and helping people actually do it runs through much of my work. Shiftic connects those intentions with the activities, materials and support people need. If Shiftic takes hold inside organisations, I believe the human impact could be enormous: more people able to make worthwhile changes, with clearer expectations, better support and room to learn. Less energy lost between agreeing on a change and finding a way to make it happen. “Joakim seems to have an incurable curiosity about technology, and it’s contagious. There is no one (honestly) who gets me to broaden my horizons and discover exciting new possibilities with technology quite like he does. He also challenges what needs challenging to make sure the business is ready for the future, creates value and has meaning. He does this even when it’s uncomfortable, but always with a great deal of care and generosity. I’m very grateful to have Jocke with us on our journey.

Most people call me JJ. ![Joakim Jardenberg](https://jardenberg.com/assets/hero-portrait-B2qdt3xc.jpg) I’ve been building things with the internet since 1993. Today I work with leaders and teams around the world, helping them turn the possibilities of AI into something useful in their everyday work. That takes me between strategy, hands-on implementation and the patient business of helping people change how they work. I’m an advisor, facilitator, speaker, builder and investor. What joins those roles is curiosity about what people could do next, and a willingness to get involved. ## It started with making things In 1993, I was handcrafting HTML and helping people find their way onto the web through Mackmeckarna in Malmö. We ran some of Sweden’s earliest web education, learning alongside librarians, architects and archaeologists. Each new website could give us a different idea of what this thing might become. At Aftonbladet in the early web years, I worked with a small team to turn the paper’s text-TV news into an automatically updated web news flow. For the 1994 Swedish election, my colleagues and I helped newspapers get connected to receive results by email. Much of my own work was at Aftonbladet, receiving and processing those results. Once people had the tools, they started finding other uses for them. I still recognise that moment today: someone tries a thing, sees what it makes possible, and begins asking a bigger question. [The early years, in my Internetmuseum interview](https://internetmuseum.se/utstallningar/svenska-internetpionjarer/joakim-jardenberg-webbutbildare-flodesskapare-och-medievisionar/) ## The world got bigger That curiosity took me through Helsingborgs Dagblad, into running Mindpark, and later into public service as Helsingborg’s Head of Internet. It also took me around the world: speaking, teaching, advising and working alongside people in very different organisations. Over the years, I’ve worked with companies including Google, Lufthansa, Volvo Group and Atlas Copco, as well as founders, smaller teams and public institutions. The setting changes, and so does what people need from me. Sometimes it’s a question that opens up a room. Sometimes it’s staying with a team long enough for a new way of working to take hold. [Some of the organisations and people I’ve worked with](https://jardenberg.com/work-with-me#clients) ## The CEO whisperer Some people call me a CEO whisperer. I like that description. A leader needs somewhere to think aloud, ask the unfinished question and have an assumption challenged. I bring experience, curiosity and a willingness to say what I see. We work out what matters and what to do about it. Those conversations are most useful when I also spend time with the people expected to make change happen. I want to know what their work looks like, what helps and what gets in the way. What I learn with them belongs back in the leadership conversation. Strategy, implementation and adoption need to keep talking to each other. ## Big change, many small moves This is where much of my work lives today. We take something people actually need to do and try a different way of doing it. A colleague finds a useful application for AI, shares it, and someone else takes it further. We make time to practise, compare experiences and adjust. Small changes can travel a long way when people help each other. Leadership matters here: giving direction, making room for experiments, removing obstacles and noticing what deserves to grow. I call my approach Guided Emergence, drawing on Henry Mintzberg’s thinking about how strategy is crafted through experience. We need enough direction to move together and enough openness to learn something we didn’t plan for. That is why I work with sustained learning journeys, hands-on workshops and the everyday questions that follow them. I want people to leave more able to act, with the confidence and support to keep going. Their next attempt is part of the work too. [More on Guided Emergence](https://jardenberg.com/ideas/guided-emergence) ## There’s a person in all of this Family, equal human worth and the world younger people inherit matter deeply to me. So do play, generosity and a good conversation. I want technology to give more people the chance to understand, create and contribute. That matters in a global company, and it matters when one person discovers they can do something they thought was beyond them. [A fuller picture, in my public profile](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/) ## And I’m still making things These days, AI lets me turn more of that curiosity into things people can use. I build tools, open up archives and explore ideas in public. Much of my work happens inside client organisations; what you see on this site is a selection. Building keeps me close to the possibilities, the awkward details and the surprises. Back in 1993, I made websites by writing HTML by hand. This one has grown through conversation with AI. After all these years, I can still sit here and be amazed by what we can do. I have never worked as much as I do today, and I have never had this much fun. What a time to be alive. In [The next 5,000 days of the web](https://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_kelly_the_next_5_000_days_of_the_web?language=en&view=transcript), Kevin Kelly looked at the abundance the web had brought us and observed that it “is amazing, and we're not amazed.” I hate to argue with Master Kevin Kelly but he was wrong. I am amazed. [Let’s work on something together](https://jardenberg.com/work-with-me) Elsewhere online ## The conversation continues.

These principles give people a shared starting point. Their usefulness comes from trying them on real work and discussing the tensions they reveal. The foundation comes from Ethan Mollick's Co-Intelligence. The teaching wording and examples here are my adaptation, developed through practice. In September 2026 I added a refinement to the third principle: how you address AI shapes the interaction. Context, expectations and language influence what happens; this does not mean every conversation is used to train the underlying model. I am also exploring what being the human in the loop requires when AI can act: where judgment belongs, how authority is bounded and how we learn from consequences. That is work in progress, alongside the established four principles. ## Put it to work 01 ### Invite AI into everything you do Explore where it could help with thinking, making, learning and everyday tasks. Invitation still calls for judgment about the task and its context. 02 ### Be the human in the loop Keep responsibility for how AI is used, the judgments that matter and the process around delegated work. 03 ### Treat AI like a human, but never forget it is not Give context and feedback as you would to a colleague, while keeping its limitations in view. How you address it shapes the interaction. 04 ### The AI you have today is the worst AI you will ever have A reason to keep learning and revisit what is possible, not a promise that every release or answer will improve. ## Where this comes from Adapted by JJ from Ethan Mollick's Co-Intelligence. The September refinement also draws on Nicklas Berild Lundblad's tulpa essay. Co-existence extensions remain working proposals. - [JJ's public account](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/) - [Ethan Mollick: Co-Existence and the End of Co-Intelligence](https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/co-existence-and-the-end-of-co-intelligence) Editorial explanation · AI + JJ [Explore this in your own work](https://jardenberg.com/work-with-me)[More ideas](https://jardenberg.com/ideas) Source: https://jardenberg.com/ideas/four-guiding-principles AI + JJ.

Most of us can describe the work waiting for us today. It is often harder to protect time for changing how that work happens, developing our own capability or helping someone else grow. The Four Jobs makes those different kinds of contribution visible. AI can have a role in all four. A useful question is where it creates room for better work, and what we choose to do with that room. Try mapping a real week. Where did the attention go? Which job keeps getting postponed? The point is to examine your own situation, not to measure everyone against an invented ideal percentage. ## Put it to work 01 ### Do the work Deliver the task, make the decision and meet the commitment in front of you. 02 ### Improve the work Change the process, remove friction or build something that makes the next attempt better. 03 ### Grow yourself Develop the knowledge, judgment and capability you will need next. 04 ### Develop others Help colleagues learn, share useful practice and strengthen the team's ability to act. ## Where this comes from JJ's working framework for leadership, learning and AI adoption.

I find strategy most useful when it stays in contact with the people doing the work. They encounter the awkward details, find the useful shortcuts, and discover possibilities that were difficult to see from a planning meeting. Guided Emergence is how I try to keep that contact alive. Set a direction and make the important boundaries clear. Give people room, authority and resources to explore. Pay attention to what happens. Then use what you learn to decide what deserves more support, what needs changing and what should stop. Strategy, implementation and adoption belong in that same conversation. Each gives the others something to work with. Imagine a team preparing for customer conversations. Information is scattered, and someone suggests an AI assistant. First agree what better preparation would mean: useful questions, fewer missed commitments, less hunting for information. Decide what the assistant can access and how the team will notice a poor result. Give a few people time to try it on real work. Perhaps it produces a useful briefing. Perhaps it reveals that nobody agrees which records are current. Either finding can change the next move: extend the experiment, improve the information or stop. This is a hypothetical example, not a claim about a client result. The practical test is whether learning can influence decisions. There should be a route from an experiment to a change in direction, resources or working practice. ## Put it to work 01 ### Guiding principles Establish direction and boundaries that help people make decisions without scripting every action. 02 ### Experimentation Make room to try something on real work and learn from what happens. 03 ### Decentralized decisions Give people meaningful authority close to the work. 04 ### Feedback and learning Listen to colleagues, customers and users, then let their experience change the next move. 05 ### Resources for exploration Reserve actual time and support for exploration. 06 ### Scaling what works Look for evidence before helping more people adopt a promising practice. 07 ### Adaptive strategy Revisit direction, commitments and priorities as understanding improves. 08 ### Cross-functional collaboration Bring together people who see different parts of the problem. 09 ### Enabling technology Use tools to make the work, evidence and collaboration easier. ## Where this comes from JJ's formulation, developed in 2023 and informed by Henry Mintzberg's Crafting Strategy.

I want my sources, services and tools to come to an interface that fits how I think and work. Moving between products should not mean starting the explanation of my life and my task from zero every time. That can involve text, voice, images, files, APIs or MCP. The important question is whether the person gains continuity and practical agency. There are real design questions here. A convenient interface can hide disagreement between sources, conceal the context of an action or make it harder to see what actually happened. This is a working thesis and a research question. A conversational interface that suits me is not automatically the right interface for everyone. ## Put it to work 01 ### Keep context useful Preserve continuity across tasks and devices without making the person repeat everything. 02 ### Keep sources reachable Let people inspect the original material and notice when accounts disagree. 03 ### Keep actions legible Distinguish suggestions, authorization, attempts and completed actions. 04 ### Keep choice real Make it possible to correct, replace or leave the interpreting layer. ## Where this comes from JJ's chosen-interface thesis, expressed in 2026. The design questions are an AI + JJ working interpretation, not a claim of legal sovereignty or universal accessibility. - [JJ's public profile: chosen interface and memory](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/) Editorial explanation · AI + JJ [Explore this in your own work](https://jardenberg.com/work-with-me)[More ideas](https://jardenberg.com/ideas) Source: https://jardenberg.com/ideas/interface-sovereignty AI + JJ.

Saving time can matter. It also leaves some important questions unanswered: did the decision improve, did a person gain confidence, or could someone finally participate in work that had been difficult to access? The Six Value Vectors give a team several places to look for value. They help make a conversation about AI more specific: what should change here, for whom, and how would we know? Choose evidence that fits the work. A faster decision is not automatically a better decision; a lower workload is not useful if the quality disappears. The vectors are lenses for inquiry, not a guarantee of return. Earlier material calls this the Five Value Vectors. Access and Inclusion was added in July 2026. Five Ways AI Changes Work is a different framework. ## Put it to work 01 ### Decision velocity and quality Help people reach timely decisions with better information and clearer reasoning. 02 ### Cognitive capacity and wellbeing Reduce avoidable mental effort and make room for work that needs attention. 03 ### Organizational memory and knowledge activation Make accumulated knowledge easier to find, connect and use. 04 ### Proactive compliance and risk mitigation Notice relevant obligations, inconsistencies and emerging risks earlier. 05 ### Talent lifecycle transformation Support people as they learn, develop, contribute and share what they know. 06 ### Access and inclusion Change who gets to participate and act, including across language, confidence and capability barriers. ## Where this comes from JJ's value framework, extended from five to six vectors in July 2026. Explanations here are AI + JJ editorial adaptations. - [JJ's public profile: what counts as value](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/) Editorial explanation · AI + JJ [Explore this in your own work](https://jardenberg.com/work-with-me)[More ideas](https://jardenberg.com/ideas) Source: https://jardenberg.com/ideas/six-value-vectors AI + JJ.

The decision is which one takes precedence here, and why. I can value the quality of a service and also care about what my spending helps enable. Usually one principle guides the choice. At a particular boundary, another becomes more important. Stacked Principles gives me a way to explain that change in priority. It is contextual judgment, with reasons attached. The other commitment has not stopped mattering. The stack is neither a permanent numerical ranking nor a flat list of values. Scale, consequences, available alternatives and the connection between an action and its effects all matter. My choice for myself is also different from asking everybody else to make the same choice. A public campaign has different stakes and needs a different evidential basis. ## Put it to work 01 ### Name the ordinary principle What would normally guide this decision? 02 ### Identify the boundary What consequence or new evidence makes another commitment decisive? 03 ### Give the reason Why does that priority make sense here, considering scale and alternatives? 04 ### Keep the decision revisable What could change the conclusion, and would you reason similarly in a comparable case? ## Where this comes from Grounded in JJ's own reasoning and an AI-assisted explanation he endorsed. The practical questions are an editorial operationalization, not verbatim quotations or a fixed constitution. - [Stacked Principles in JJ's public profile](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/) Editorial explanation · AI + JJ [Explore this in your own work](https://jardenberg.com/work-with-me)[More ideas](https://jardenberg.com/ideas) Source: https://jardenberg.com/ideas/stacked-principles AI + JJ.

[Subscribe to Now by RSS](https://jardenberg.com/feeds/now.xml)[All feeds & downloads](https://jardenberg.com/open) 4 October 2026Weekly noteAI + JJ ## From prompting to conversation In Thursday's [Interactions Matter keynote](https://20261001.jardenberg.net/transcript.html), I explored a progression: discovering agency, moving from prompts to conversation, learning to work as a team, and growing through honest feedback. An AI doesn't have to experience the conversation the way I do for that interaction to matter to me. I can still get frustrated, have an assumption challenged, or discover something I missed. What changes in my thinking? What do I do differently afterwards? That brings expectations and responsibility into the conversation too. Have I made clear what I want? Am I prepared to hear something uncomfortable? Calling it a relationship doesn't make the machine human. It does give me a reason to examine how I behave in it. ## What others are building: pocket agents I'm very much not alone in enjoying [Meta Muse](https://www.techradar.com/ai-platforms-assistants/i-gave-muse-access-to-my-personal-data-and-now-i-know-why-personal-agents-are-probably-going-to-change-the-world). [Manus Cue](https://www.manus.im/blog/introducing-manus-2-0) is expanding what personal agents can take on, including shared work between agents with their own computers and communication channels. [Grok Bot](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/overview) makes me smile. And [Dots](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/dots) is becoming the workhorse for me, my wife, my mother-in-law and many of my clients. What I'm watching is how these pocket agents become part of ordinary life. They can carry context forward, pick up unfinished work and reach back to us. We start developing habits together: what to hand over, how to ask, when to step in. The serious question is how to make that relationship deserve our trust. Warmth and personality help us get started. Clear permissions, useful resistance, visible mistakes and the ability to change direction matter when the agent can act. Microsoft's [Autopilot announcement](https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2026/09/25/introducing-the-new-copilot-with-home-code-and-autopilot/) points in the same direction. I will be very sad if it doesn't bring back Clippy. ## A list of links is a beginning This week we published [UXresurser](https://uxresurser.jardenberg.net/), turning resource lists from my UX studies into a public learning library. It now has 97 resource records, with summaries, search, cross-references and learning routes. The starting point was practical: help me find the material that answers the question I have, and give me a useful way into it. The original works and our editorial summaries remain distinct. You can follow the sources yourself, or connect an AI through the public MCP. Building it also means applying what I'm learning. We've improved visible links, controls and small text. Actual screen-reader and user testing remain open. Passing automated checks is one piece of the work. ## A signature isn't the whole answer We've also brought implementation experience back into [Verifiable MCP](https://github.com/jardenberg/verifiable-mcp/releases/tag/v0.2.2). The updated tools make an important distinction: verifying a signed response and confirming that the requested operation succeeded are separate checks. An error can be correctly signed too. The public examples now include my personal context profile and the independent Hållbarhetsklivet demo, alongside the earlier archives and research sources. They have different relationships to the people who created, own or publish the material. Those distinctions need to travel with the information. This is still experimental work, with specific verification checks and explicit limits. A signature can help establish where a response came from and whether it was altered. It cannot make every claim inside it true. AI + JJ. A dated editorial account of the work and thinking, with sources linked in the text.

Linked archives and projects have their own collections; their contents are not silently copied here. ## Bring your AI The public, read-only MCP is at [joakim.jardenberg.net/mcp](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/mcp). It provides my public profile and tools to list, search and read this site’s published material. Start with a search or a relevant page, then follow the sources. [Setup and a first question](https://jardenberg.com/for-your-ai). Signed responses preserve the content, source, rights and AI credit. A signature establishes where a response came from and whether it changed, not whether every claim is true. ## The older library stays where it belongs [The jardenberg.se blog archive](https://jardenberg.se/blog/) holds years of writing by me and other contributors. It remains on its original site, with the original URLs and bylines. [Search the blog](https://jardenberg.se/?s=AI), [read its full-text feed](https://jardenberg.se/feed/), or [use its public WordPress API](https://jardenberg.se/wp-json/wp/v2/posts). The 9 October 2026 inventory found 3,433 posts, including 608 attributed to other authors or imported collections. The archive marks original material as CC BY 2.5 Sweden, with third-party exceptions. Its historical writing and licence remain distinct from the current material here. It is not yet included in this site’s MCP search.

Alternative reading formats are linked above. ## Made to be found [robots.txt](https://jardenberg.com/robots.txt) allows all crawlers across the public site. The [sitemap](https://jardenberg.com/sitemap.xml) lists every reading page, including Swedish originals. Feeds are advertised in each page’s metadata. [Host discovery](https://jardenberg.com/.well-known/host-meta.json) links the public profile, MCP server card, feeds and collection. The [MCP discovery file](https://jardenberg.com/.well-known/mcp.json) points to the existing server and its authoritative signing-key discovery. Public reading pages permit full search snippets and large image previews. Search results and missing pages are excluded from indexing. Discovery conventions such as PPCP and llms.txt help supporting clients; they cannot guarantee that every AI system will find or index the site. ## Discovery, including the experiments The [API catalogue](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/.well-known/api-catalog) follows RFC 9727 and links the [OpenAPI description](https://joakim.jardenberg.net/site/openapi.json) of our public, read-only endpoints. The existing backend serves these endpoints with the response types and cross-origin access browser clients need; it reads the same published collection. Start with the [compact document catalogue](https://jardenberg.com/catalog.json), then fetch one complete document at a time. We also publish two explicitly experimental interfaces: [ARD v0.91 discovery](https://jardenberg.com/.well-known/ard.json), including example questions for the MCP and reading API, and [agents.json v0.1.0](https://jardenberg.com/.well-known/agents.json), with three read-only flows. They describe existing capabilities. Adoption is still developing; a valid manifest does not guarantee that a particular agent or registry will discover it. ## A known limit On 9 October 2026, the hosting service blocked requests from the default Python urllib client. A descriptive User-Agent or an empty User-Agent worked in the checks. No login or API key is required. This hosting restriction is unresolved; access for every automated client is not yet guaranteed.

I had been deep in a large project in Palma, and talking to a camera became a way to think aloud with other people. The format was simple: take one thing happening in technology or on the internet, explain why it matters, and ask what it might mean for us. In Swedish, usually in a few minutes. Occasionally I get carried away. Those reflections became a record of what I was noticing, wondering about and sometimes getting wrong. When I returned to the project in 2026, I wanted to work with that history: find a thought again, follow a connection, see what had changed. ## The archive started with a practical need I wanted my AI assistants to have access to my earlier material. That was the starting point for the archive and its MCP connection. Then it made sense to give people a website through which to explore it too. You can search the archive, read episode transcripts and follow related subjects. A compatible AI assistant can also retrieve the material. Original episodes sit alongside AI-produced summaries, connections and retrospective commentary. ## A record of thinking, with its dates attached Something I said years ago is a record of what I said then. A later AI assessment is another layer, with its own limitations. Both can be interesting without pretending they are the same thing. For me, part of the pleasure is discovering something I had forgotten saying. Another part is seeing what someone else makes of it. A conversation can keep developing long after the recording ends. ## A useful place to start Episode 500 tells the story behind making the archive useful again. Or bring your own subject: find an earlier episode, look at the original material and ask which question is still worth exploring. ## Explore further - [Browse the archive](https://ensakidag.se/arkiv) - [The story in episode 500](https://ensakidag.se/avsnitt/500) - [About the project](https://ensakidag.se/om) Try it for yourself [Open the project](https://ensakidag.se/) ## Who made what Original episodes by Joakim Jardenberg.

Public Personal Context Protocol is an open draft exploring how a person can publish context that is useful to both people and AI systems. The specification, schemas and examples give others something concrete to inspect and try. My public profile is a reference implementation. It brings together how I work, what matters to me and how I want to be challenged, with readable pages, downloads and read-only MCP access. ## Try it with a real question Connect the public profile to a compatible AI assistant, then ask how to prepare for working with me. A useful answer should point back to the published material and keep my stated preferences distinct from the assistant's interpretation. You can read the same context without connecting anything. The website and downloadable versions remain part of the project. ## Keep ownership and interpretation visible An approved profile is my account of myself. It is not independent proof of every claim, and an AI's later adaptation does not automatically become my new position. PPCP remains an open draft.

Which server supplied it? Has the response changed? Does it contain someone's original words, or an AI's later interpretation? Verifiable MCP is a working pattern for attaching a digital signature and provenance to an MCP response. The signed material includes declarations about the source, rights and freshness, so those declarations travel with the content being checked. A valid signature can establish that the response matches what the signing server issued. The reader still needs to evaluate the source and the claim. Signing a statement does not make it true. ## Keep the source and its labels together The distinction between an original contribution and an AI-written response matters. So do the rights attached to each. The pattern places those labels inside the signed material, where changing them can be detected. For my own archive, a check can establish what my server supplied. For an index of other people's publications, it establishes what the index supplied. It does not prove that the original publisher wrote or approved the index's representation. ## Tried with different kinds of public knowledge The public repository documents reference implementations for #ensakidag, the SSWC book and the RISE/AI Sweden connector. They bring different situations: my own material, contributions by many authors, and an index of third-party publications. That variation is useful. A common verification pattern needs to preserve the differences between sources, authorship and rights. Each server's current implementation and scope still need their own check. ## Something you can inspect and test The repository contains the specification, Python and JavaScript verifiers, a conformance checklist and published test vectors. The tests include altered and invalid responses that a verifier must reject. Start with the explanation, run the published examples, then examine a reference server or try the pattern with a corpus you operate. The useful feedback is what the test reveals, including where the implementation falls short. ## An experimental pattern with a defined scope The signature covers the server response. It does not certify the answer an AI later writes from it. A client also needs to perform verification; simply receiving signed metadata is not the same as checking it. The specification remains experimental. It describes its trust assumptions and limits, and makes conformance something to test rather than a badge to assume. ## Explore further - [Why should an agent believe you?](https://github.com/jardenberg/verifiable-mcp/blob/main/ESSAY.md) - [Read the specification](https://github.com/jardenberg/verifiable-mcp/blob/main/SPEC.md) - [Inspect the verifiers](https://github.com/jardenberg/verifiable-mcp/tree/main/verifiers) - [Run through the conformance checklist](https://github.com/jardenberg/verifiable-mcp/blob/main/CHECKLIST.md) - [#ensakidag's MCP](https://ensakidag.se/mcp) - [The SSWC archive's MCP](https://sswcboken.se/mcp) - [RISE & AI Sweden public connector](https://rise-ai-sweden.jardenberg.org/) Try it for yourself [Open the project](https://github.com/jardenberg/verifiable-mcp) ## Who made what Open specification and implementation work developed through AI + JJ, with its sources and dependencies credited in the repository. ## Current status Experimental ## Connected ideas [Interface Sovereignty](https://jardenberg.com/ideas/interface-sovereignty) Source: https://jardenberg.com/projects/verifiable-mcp AI + JJ.

The useful format follows from what needs to change. [Send me a note](mailto:joakim@jardenberg.com?subject=A%20conversation%20about%20working%20together)[Book a conversation](https://jardenberg.com/work-with-me#booking) Let’s find a time ## Book a conversation. Choose 25 or 50 minutes, then pick a time. Tell me what you’d like us to work on when you book. The calendar opens here when you choose a meeting length. Prefer a separate window, or having trouble? [25 minutes on Cal.com (opens a new tab)](https://cal.com/jardenberg/25min)[50 minutes on Cal.com (opens a new tab)](https://cal.com/jardenberg/50min) ## Keynotes & live conversations Conferences, leadership gatherings and teams opening a new conversation. A shared starting point for a room that needs to think clearly about what AI changes. We begin with the audience and the question the event needs to address. I shape the examples and argument around that context. The format can include a keynote, demonstration, conversation or a combination. The useful question is what people should be able to understand or try afterwards. ## Workshops & Intellectual Boot Camps Teams ready to move from discussing AI to working with it together. Bring actual work into the room and explore what becomes possible with AI. Participants work with real questions, tasks and material. We make room for both practical exploration and discussion of what the experience means. For leadership teams, an Intellectual Boot Camp gives more concentrated time to work through strategic, organizational and operational questions. Scope and follow-up are designed around the team. ## Learning Journeys & Copilot Convoys Leaders and teams who want adoption to develop over time, with support close to the work. Sustained practice, shared experiments and a rhythm for learning from real work. Regular sessions and smaller experiments give a group time to build capability, bring difficulties back and learn from one another. The design can combine strategic conversations, a Convoy, informal AI-Fika and support between sessions. The rhythm should fit the work and help the organisation carry the learning forward. ## Strategy & advisory work Leadership teams making consequential choices about AI, working practices and organizational capability. Connect leadership choices with what implementation and frontline experience are revealing. We examine direction, priorities, assumptions and the conditions people need to act. That can lead to an AI Compass, guiding principles, a decision or a carefully bounded experiment. Guided Emergence keeps strategy connected to practical learning. A useful deliverable should help the organisation make its next decision and recognize what would change it. ## Facilitation & moderation Workshops, panels, management conversations and gatherings that need active participation. Help a group get into the conversation it needs, with enough structure to move somewhere useful. The work begins with the purpose of the gathering and the people in it. Different perspectives, uncertainty and disagreement can be useful material. We shape the format around the conversation, then make the decisions, learning and open questions clear enough to carry forward. ## Build something useful A clear problem worth exploring through a small, usable build. Take a concrete problem far enough that we can try a working response to it. A prototype, a focused tool or a better route into existing knowledge can help make a question tangible. We begin with what someone needs to do. AI does much of the making. We shape the purpose, inspect the result and learn from using it. The next step depends on what that experience shows.

Unfinished thinking is welcome. English and Swedish both work. I usually prefer an asynchronous start and a booked conversation. It gives us both a chance to arrive prepared.
