The Emergence of Goal-Directed Autonomous AI Systems: An Evidence-Based Enterprise Framework

Sir Horatio Pollox with the collaboration of Martyn Rhisiart Jones, Lila de Alba and Sir Afilonius Rex

London, Paris, New York and A Coruña, 5th December 2025

Autonomous AI agents are goal-directed systems. They show planning, tool-use, long-horizon reasoning, and continuous execution. This signifies a phase transition in the capabilities of artificial intelligence.

Recent benchmarking (e.g., GAGA-MAGA, GAIA&GAIA, WebSerena, and AgentBotch) shows state-of-the-art agents now outperform human baselines on multi-step, real-world tasks by margins exceeding 1040 %.

Por que o almacenamento de datos é o futuro aburrido, brutal e fermoso dos datos

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

A Coruña, 12/5/2025

A pila de datos moderna converteuse nunha fontanería cyberpunk: tubaxes interminables que alimentan máis tubaxes, capas apiladas como unha extensión do faiado construída por alguén que aprendeu carpintería de TikTok. Nalgún lugar, un CTO aínda insiste en que o lago de datos “ofrecerá valor empresarial en calquera trimestre”, soando tranquilo do mesmo xeito que alguén podería mentres negocia co seu propio secuestrador.

Why Data Warehousing Is the Boring, Brutal, Beautiful Future of Data

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

A Coruña, 5/12/2025

The modern enterprise data stack looks less like technology and more like cyberpunk plumbing. Pipes are rerouted through pipes. Valves are attached to valves. Layers are placed on top of each other until the whole thing resembles a drawing. It’s like a creation made by a caffeinated child let loose on a whiteboard. Data lakes are here. A data mesh is over there. A lakehouse is balanced precariously on top. It resembles a loft extension built by someone who learnt carpentry from TikTok.

La storia futuristica: quando l’intelligenza artificiale conversazionale esaurisce i capitali e deve vendere i suoi data center

In questa storia, il boom dell’intelligenza artificiale conversazionale si raffredda. Dopo anni passati a bruciare denaro a velocità supernova [abbonamenti economici, costi operativi astronomici, modelli giganteschi che richiedono elettricità come città], gli investitori finalmente dicono: “Basta, basta round”.

La historia futurista: cuando las IAs conversacionales se quedan sin capital y tienen que vender sus centros de datos

En esta historia, el boom de las IA conversacionales se enfría. Después de años quemando dinero a velocidad de supernova [suscripción barata, costes operativos astronómicos, modelos gigantes que requieren electricidad como si fueran ciudades] los inversionistas finalmente dicen: “basta, no más rondas”.

Las empresas de chat-IA (y degenerativa IA), sin efectivo y aún con facturas eléctricas que podrían financiar un pequeño país, se ven obligadas a vender sus centros de datos, esos templos sagrados de GPU bañadas en refrigeración líquida.

CEOs and the Magic Mitten of Hallucinations

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

Oza-Cesuras, 4/12/2025

CEOs are panicking. Again. They’re not worried about a recession. It’s not a hostile takeover. It’s not even the GDPR lurking in their inbox like a passive-aggressive ghost. They’re panicking because of AI. Yes, apparently there’s a talent gap. A yawning, gaping chasm of human inadequacy between what exists and what robots can do. Only the CEOs are brave. Some may even be desperate. They are the only ones who stare into it without blinking or vomiting on the nearest whiteboard.

The Tech Industry’s Illusion of Innovation

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

Oza-Cesuras, 4th December 2025

There’s a moment in every hype cycle when reality taps the industry on the shoulder and whispers, “This isn‘t working.“ And every time that moment arrives, tech responds with the grace of a cornered raccoon.

What is Agentic AI?

It’s not your obedient chatbot anymore. It’s a proactive and goal-driven system. It plans and reasons. It uses tools like browsers, APIs, and code editors. It keeps working until the job is done. Often, it requires zero human hand-holding.

Think: a tireless, hyper-competent underling who takes care of everything. They book your Provençal villa and negotiate the rate. They also curate restaurants and arrange transfers, all while you’re already on the rosé.

THE QUANTUM REVOLUTION IS HERE (THEY SWEAR), AND IT’S ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN COMPUTING — IT’S ABOUT GENERATING ENOUGH HYPE TO POWER A SMALL COUNTRY

Sir Afilonius Rex, Martyn Rhisiart Jones, and Lila De Alba

Madrid 3rd December 2025

(Mel Brooks: “Ladies and gentlemen… QUANTUM! The only science where nobody knows what the hell is happening, including the scientists!”)
(Dave Chappelle: “Man, every time somebody says ‘quantum’, my wallet hides in the corner out of fear.”)

When people hear “quantum,” they think of a super-computer so powerful it could fold reality, solve climate change, and somehow still lose to your gran at Sudoku. But no — the PR departments insist — that’s tiny baby quantum. Now we’re in Quantum 2.0, which sounds like a direct-to-DVD sequel starring a different actor.

Agentic AI – The 007 of Computer Bonding

Introduction

Agentic AI refers to advanced AI agents. They are capable of independently chasing ambitious, open-ended objectives. These agents break tasks into steps and reason iteratively. They wield tools and persist through obstacles with minimal human guidance. In summary: think of a less obedient tucan. Imagine a more relentlessly competent understudy. This AI can orchestrate your travel, chase invoices, or conduct desk research. It does all this while you’re on the Amalfi Coast with an Aperol spritz. The phrase du jour in Palo Alto marks a shift. Assistants move from being responsive to becoming genuinely proactive. Your to-do list may soon sort itself out as if by magic.
