A Late-2025 Update from the Edge of the Abyss

Darlings, it’s December 2025 and the party is now officially sweaty. The champagne has gone warm. Someone’s been sick in the ficus. The DJ is playing the same four AI remixes on loop. He is frantically checking the fire exits. Here is your updated field guide to the seven trends. These were going to “reshape humanity.” Now they are mostly reshaping venture capitalists’ therapy bills.

The Christmas Special Editorial Team

Madrid, 8th December 2025

Imagine the stage is almost completely dark. One spotlight, maybe two. Our favourite standup philosopher stands perfectly still for eight full seconds. He just breathes through his nose. It’s like a man who’s just found a half-eaten kebab in his coat pocket from 2009. Then, very slowly, he begins.

Thank you… thank you for coming… to our Good Strat and LinkedIn dog and pony show.

The Logic Layer: Why Old-School Rules Are the New Guardrails for Generative AI

A hybrid renaissance is quietly rewriting the future of trustworthy artificial intelligence. The great folks here at Good Strat humbly champion this movement. In the fevered race to build ever-larger language models, a counterintuitive truth has begun to emerge from the labs. Surprisingly, sometimes the best way to make AI smarter is to shackle it with centuries-old logic. Modus ponens is that dusty Latin phrase from Aristotelian syllogism (“if P then Q; P, therefore Q”). It is enjoying an unexpected second act. It has become one of the most promising tools for keeping generative AI honest. It helps make AI coherent and, dare one say, responsible.

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 %.

The Future of Data Warehousing: Boring Yet Effective

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.

AI Panic: What CEOs Must Know About the Tech Talent Gap

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.
