The Algorithmic Mirror: What AI Reveals About Our Own Agency (and How to Not Break It)
I woke up this morning to a notification from my “smart” coffee maker – a gentle reminder that my usual Monday blend, a dark roast I’ve been loyal to for years, was running low. It also
It’s March 2026, and I’m still trying to figure out if I’m an agent or just a really complicated Roomba.

After 3 months with Milvus in production: it’s decent for prototyping, frustrating for scaling.
So, here I am, three months deep into working with Milvus for a project focused on vector similarity search. For context, I started using Milvus back in January 2026 and threw it into a mid-sized application that involves a recommendation system.
It’s 2026, and I’m still trying to figure out if my smart thermostat is judging my excessive use of the “boost” button. Seriously, the way it subtly shifts its display from a cheerful blue to an accusatory orange when I crank it past 22 degrees feels like a passive-aggressive swipe from a digital entity. And
