Working method

Marc approaches writing like an operator. The useful question is not whether an idea sounds sophisticated. It is whether the idea explains what happened, survives testing, and improves the next decision. Technical pieces are grounded in systems he has built or managed. Market and historical pieces distinguish records from interpretation. Every published article remains open to correction when stronger evidence appears.

Current focus

His current technical work centers on persistent AI agents, conversational voice systems, context transfer between tools, and the operating controls that make automation safe enough for real businesses. That includes permissions, audit trails, human approval, failure recovery, evaluation, and the less glamorous integration work between models and existing systems. The same systems perspective carries into his writing on liquidity, cycles, attention, and historical frameworks.
