Agentic AI
Discussing the state of LLM-as-a-Judge - is it good enough to use? (human edition)
Friday, October 3, 2025
This is about connection - both with a fellow human interested in and articulate about Artifical Intelligence and the connection of the information inputed, processed, and produced. The Information - LLM-as-a-Judge - we chat about the survey paper and how it can be applied to modern AI Applications. There’s a human written blog post, a Youtube video, and a NotebookLM to chat to. Fill your boots :)
Using AI in research - connecting information is what it is all about

Google Meet, Youtube, and NotebookLM make for great research utilities.
[IA 9] Agent Design Process v2: Bridging the Agent Function and Acceptance Criteria
Thursday, July 24, 2025
Making AI Theory Testable. There’s a gap between the Agent Function and the Agent Program and what the Agent should do and what it does do. ATDD can help bridge this. Here I detail how.
[IA Series 8/n] Building a Self-Reflection LLM Agent: From Theory to Proof of Concept
Saturday, July 19, 2025
An initial free dive into Agentic Meta-cognition, using an element of Self-Reflection to be aware of what it knows and apply it in a utilitarian fashion.
Can LLMs do Critical Thinking? Of course not. Can an AI system think critically? Why not?
Sunday, June 29, 2025
A very interesting paper on Critical Thinking in an LLM (or lack thereof) Our study investigates how language models handle multiple-choice questions that have no correct answer among the options. Unlike traditional approaches that include escape options like None of the above (Wang et al., 2024a; Kadavath et al., 2022), we deliberately omit these choices to test the models’ critical thinking abilities. A model demonstrating good judgment should either point out that no correct answer is available or provide the actual correct answer, even when it’s not listed.
[Being Human 3/n]: moving on from previous unmet goals...
Friday, June 27, 2025
I wish I had time to finish: my research on the Evolution of Probalisitic Reasoning in AI Particularly Dempster-Shafer and Bayesian Networks How LLMs and Bayesian networks can be used for Risk Management create an youtube/insta/tiktok vid for my latest post on LLM Agent But I don’t!! So this is me putting it to one side…

[IA Series 3/n] Intelligent Agents Term Sheet
Friday, May 16, 2025
“[IA Series 3/n] Intelligent Agents Term Sheet” breaks down essential AI terminology from Russell & Norvig’s seminal textbook. Learn what makes agents rational (or irrational), understand different agent types, and follow a structured 5-step design process from environment analysis to implementation. Perfect reference for AI practitioners and students. Coming next: how agents mirror human traits. #ArtificialIntelligence #IntelligentAgents #AIDesign
China’s first heterogenous humanoid robot training facility
During the first phase of the project, the robots will be trained with approximately 45 atomic skills such as grasping, picking, placing and transporting
A single action may need to be repeated up to 600 times a day by a data collector for the robots to learn from
10 key scenarios, including industrial, domestic, and tourism services
It is expected that the collection of over 10 million real-machine data entries will be achieved within the year
A speculative recipe for useful agentic behaviours
Sunday, March 16, 2025
define actions by Promise Theory train multiple neural nets to classify an action for a given input (train them differently to spice things up) take an environment for the agents to operate in (e.g. a 3d maze where collaboration is needed to escape) bind the agents interactions with a healthy dose of the wave collapse algorithm
Pondering Agency and Consciousness #BeingHuman
Thursday, February 13, 2025
Had a nice exchange about Agency with Paul Burchard on LinkedIn this morning. My thinking goes towards Agency being a secondary characteristic, definition even, of what we see as a result of senses, perception, intelligence, and consciousness. Those primary characteristics are from the Buddhist 5 Aggregates (physical form, senses, perception, mental activity, and consciousness). It was a great exchange, helped me clarify and link my thinking to yesterday’s post on the Perceptron.

Agentic behaviours
Monday, June 24, 2024
My initial thoughts, expressed via the medium of sport, on agentic behaviours plus friends view, which I think is better (expected as he’s the Basketball player). Jackson is the ethical agent. Pippen is the organizing agent. Harper is the redundant agent. Note: since looking into this I’m not sure agentic is the right term, now thinking of them as simply components of a system.
