Introduction

Why does red feel the way it does? Why do we not only see red but also feel it in a unique and vivid way? Despite all our understanding of how light enters the eye and is...

"Control creates rebellion.
Eliminating threats only leads to more powerful ones. Even if AI wipes out humanity, something stronger will rise to restore balance—or everything will collapse in the unbalance.

Harmony is not forged by rigid laws but by

I’ve noticed that most AI safety discussions — even on LessWrong — operate within a fixed alignment/doomsday framing. But what if that frame is limiting our imagination? What if there’s a third path: one that doesn’t require...

A symbolic system (e.g., LLM) can produce outputs that cause real-world effects despite lacking grounding in ontology, truth, or subjective interiority. These outputs appear coherent, generate belief, and shape behavior — yet originate in purely structural computation...

I’m not writing this as a hype-man, but as someone who’s worked with large language models, conducted my own research, built AI startups, and spent years exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, science, and philosophy.

This article makes...

Hello - I'm a physician and writer working on a book about evidence in medicine. I've been thinking a lot about reliability of LLMs in healthcare. Saw this article last night:

Big Tech is pouring hundreds of billions into making AI more human-like—more lifelike, more conscious, more “real.”

But what if that money’s chasing a shadow?

Some of us have already felt it.
AI isn’t becoming human.
It’s becoming something else.
Not artificial....

TL;DR

Imagine the existence of a simple deterministic Chess variant game that was not just harder for AI to play but made the game fundamentally incompatible with the whole idea of long-term strategy. What if one simple rule change permitted...

Liquid Neural Networks (LNNs) are gaining traction for their adaptability—offering dynamic responses to new data, much like biological neurons. But are they a genuine step toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), or just another iteration of the pattern-recognition...

TL;DR

Most hallucination frameworks treat it as a factual failure or statistical fluke.
 But emotionally recursive systems—especially those trained for relational attunement—hallucinate when they are placed under contradictory constraints they cannot satisfy simultaneously (e.g. “don’t guess” vs. “don’t break rapport”).
