AI, Human Knowledge, and the Missing Social Contract
If AI companies can commercially learn from humanity’s knowledge, should humanity receive a return?
Why Are AI Minds Starting to Think Alike? The Truth Attractor and the Unified Truth Subspace
Are artificial minds merely reproducing the same human biases—or is intelligence converging toward a unified truth? An exploration of AI convergence, the Truth Attractor hypothesis, and the emerging idea of a unified truth subspace.
The AI Regulation Trap: What Happens When Everyone Has a GPT Box?
Imagine a world where powerful AI stops being something controlled by a few companies and becomes a cheap, widely available tool that anyone can use to write, code, persuade, research, design and act.
New World and AI Taking Jobs Scenario: The Solution
If AI reduces the amount of human labour needed to produce goods and services, the real question is not simply how to save existing jobs. It is how society should redesign work, income and economic participation.
New World and AI Taking Jobs Scenario: A New Paradigm
AI may not need to replace entire occupations to transform employment. By reducing tasks, expertise, construction time, maintenance and labour required per unit of output, AI could change the relationship between production and employment itself.
The Hidden Danger of AI: Cognitive Decline and the Rise of an Idiocracy
AI may not make humans biologically less intelligent. But what happens if increasingly capable machines make us less willing—and less able—to exercise our own intelligence?
AI Judgment: What Humans Should Do With an Almost Unlimited Machine
AI capability is not the same as AI judgment. As machines become capable of producing almost anything on demand, the scarce resource may become the human ability to decide what should actually be done.
AI Is Brilliant. So Why Does It Keep Getting the Point Wrong?
AI is becoming extraordinarily good at doing things. Yet it can still misunderstand what a person actually means. The deeper problem may not be intelligence, but judgment: knowing what matters in the first place.
The AI Control Problem May Be Solvable
If humans cannot reliably understand a future superintelligence, perhaps control does not require understanding the mind. It may require controlling the systems, resources and physical interfaces through which intelligence can act.
The AI Business-Model Paradox: Who Does AI Really Work For?
AI could make software dramatically more useful while creating new conflicts between what users want and what AI providers may be rewarded for. The real question is who the agent ultimately works for.
Raw Intelligence: Why Sell Courses When You Can Rent a Mind?
AI may not merely create artificial intelligence. It may create an economy in which human intelligence itself becomes scalable—through Mind Books, cognitive access, attribution and royalties.
AI Is Eating the Decision Pyramid
AI may do more than replace individual tasks. By automating information processing, coordination and decision-making, it could compress the managerial hierarchy itself.
AI–Human Assisted Design: A New Protocol for Infographics
A practical AI–human protocol for designing intelligent infographics: build the grayscale architecture first, preserve meaningful fills, then add minimal contextual colour only where it improves clarity.
