When people grieved the loss of GPT-4o models, it showed how convincing AI’s performance has become. But history repeats itself: from 1966's ELIZA to 2011's IBM Watson, we repeatedly mistake statistical pattern matching for a soul. Modern frontier LLMs optimize next-token prediction; they don't experience life. The danger isn't that machines feel, but that we act like they do.

The AI Revolution — History Repeating Itself - On Sentience explores intelligence, consciousness and the historical patterns that may help us understand the development of AI.
The video is based on the article of the same title published on alanbonnici.com.
The entire explainer—including its narration, visuals and video clips—was created using AI.

I look at AI through the lens of previous economic transformations: industrialisation, electrification, printing, globalisation, public health and the digital revolution.
The patterns are familiar.
The article asks what history can tell us about where AI may be heading next.

ComfyUI has made local generative AI remarkably accessible, but its shared Python environment can create serious dependency conflicts.
When one model requires Transformers 4.x and another requires Transformers 5.x, there may be no single installation that supports both. The result is a modern form of “DLL Hell”.
This article explores why dependency isolation could become essential to ComfyUI’s future

Is today's AI sentient? History suggests we are experiencing the ELIZA Effect on a grand scale. From GENIAC (1955) and Furby (1998) to IBM Watson (2011), we repeatedly mistake statistical pattern matching for a mind. Modern LLMs deliver engineered performance via next-token prediction, not subjective feeling. Convincing behavior isn't sentience.

ComfyUI’s shared Python environment can turn incompatible model dependencies into “Package Hell”.
As custom nodes multiply, should dependency isolation become a core architectural feature?

Software is deterministic.
The defects, vulnerabilities and edge cases we struggle with are often the result of human limitations, complex dependency chains and imperfect processes.
Could AI help change that?
My latest article explores software quality, cybersecurity, AI-assisted vulnerability discovery and the impact of emerging regulation.

What if software defects aren't inevitable?
Software is deterministic. The real unpredictability comes from us.
My latest article explores bugs, dependency-chain risk, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, and how AI could dramatically improve software quality and cybersecurity.

Anyone else running their home media server on a Synology NAS? If you are planning to set one up, installing Plex under DSM 7 requires a few specific steps for permissions and updates. Alan Bonnici just published a comprehensive guide that walks you through the entire process, whether you are using the Package Center or installing manually. Great resource if you want to avoid common setup mistakes!

The Golden Threshold
The mist doesn’t just hide the path—it guards it. Between skeletal boughs and silver webs, a light is waking that wasn't meant for human eyes.

NUT (Network UPS Tools) is nearly 30 years old, GPL-licensed, and still the best way to monitor your UPS on Linux — but setup can get tricky with older or obscure hardware.
New guide covers the full stack: driver detection, immutable battery thresholds, upsmon shutdown logic, email alerts & testing with forced shutdown commands.
Essential reading for homelab and Linux sysadmins. 🔌

A quiet path wrapped in morning mist, where sunlight breaks through the trees and turns the whole scene into something almost otherworldly. Soft rays, stillness, and that fleeting moment when nature feels suspended in time.

An 80‑year‑old Ky Walsh reflects from his prison cell on the mother who, in a world that failed her at every turn, still managed to give him something that never left him: a belief in the power of words.
⚠️ Content warning: suicide, institutional abuse, child poverty.
