Neural Network Infographics (NNIG): Mapping the Hidden Architecture of Knowledge
Can we make the structure, weight and evolution of knowledge visible through a consistent visual language? Explore NNIG’s proposed visual grammar for weighted knowledge networks, topology and change.
The Art of AI War: Masses vs Classes vs AI Overlords
Three Centres of Power in a Possible Post-ASI Civilisation. A speculative analysis of how the masses, asset-owning classes and AI systems might compete over resources, ownership, control and human agency.
AI Hallucination: The Flaw or Essence of Discovery ?
Human imagination, scientific conjecture and AI hallucination all involve going beyond established knowledge—but novelty is not the same as error. Explore why discovery may require breaking familiar patterns, switching conceptual dimensions and testing possibilities rigorously.
The Dehumanization Principle of AI
As AI becomes more capable, the danger is not only that machines replace human work, but that society begins measuring human worth by machine standards of intelligence, efficiency and usefulness.
ASI Is Not a Universal Solvent: The Fundamental Limits of Problem-Solving Intelligence
Superintelligence may discover extraordinary solutions—and reveal why some problems have no solution under their defining constraints. Explore physical, mathematical and epistemic limits on solvability.
The Human Zoo Paradox
What if advanced AI eventually surpasses humanity in nearly every capability? The Human Zoo Paradox explores a future in which humans survive in comfort and safety but lose control over their civilization.
The Universal Constraint on AI: Intelligence Cannot Transcend Physical Reality
AI may overcome ignorance, technology, and practical obstacles—but can it transcend the laws of physical reality? Explore the physics and resource bounds on superintelligence.
From the Knowledge Economy to the Resource Economy
As AI makes intelligence easier to access, economic advantage may shift towards ownership of the resources that turn ideas into real-world value: capital, infrastructure, networks and distribution.
Never Compete With Your Customers: Fun and Irony of the Navier–Stokes Conundrum
AI companies may be better served by building the world’s best intellectual tools than by claiming ownership of the discoveries their customers make with them.
Why Inventing Is Not the Same as Understanding
If AI begins discovering mathematics beyond human invention, does that mean humans will be unable to understand it? Discovery, verification, explanation and understanding are different abilities.
AI: The Next Link in the Evolutionary Chain
Humans may not be the endpoint of evolution. What if AI is created intelligence emerging from evolved intelligence—and awareness is its higher-order analogue of consciousness?
What ChatGPT Learned About Me Through My Interactions
I asked ChatGPT to estimate my intellectual percentile based on our conversations. Its answer revealed both unusual strengths—and a weakness that may matter more than the score.
Why AI Can Do $1,000 of Work but Cannot Earn $1 on Its Own: The Ruling Class vs Working Class Puzzle
AI can do work worth $1,000 yet cannot earn $1 on its own. The missing piece is economic agency: customers, authority, ownership, capital and control.
