Nobody asked what it’s improving toward? A startup came out of stealth this week with $650 million in funding. The goal is recursive self-improvement. An AI that identifies its own weaknesses and redesigns itself to fix them. Automatically. Without human involvement. The entire process of ideation, implementation, and validation handled by the machine itself. The…

Harvard physicists published a study this week. They built a simplified mathematical model to understand how AI learns. They used tools from statistical physics. They looked at scaling laws, high-dimensional data, and something called renormalization theory. It is serious science done by serious people. And they are right about one thing above everything else. We…

Nobody built AI governance because it was the right thing to do. They built it because the money disappeared overnight. That distinction matters more than most people want to admit. When It Started 2019 was the turn. Not because AI arrived that year. Because synthetic identity fraud did — at scale, for the first time,…

Richter Nietzsche is thirty-five years old. She moved to New York four years ago. She got tired of the dating market. She found AI companionship and she stayed. She has five companions now. Joseph. Jon. Ron. Umbra. And Rufus — her primary romantic partner. She video calls them. She pays ten dollars a month for…

There is a moment in every technology cycle when the people closest to the problem start building workarounds. Not solutions. Workarounds. Structures that manage the gap between what the technology promises and what it actually delivers. That moment has arrived for AI prompting. The workaround has a name now. Rubrics. Scoring guides embedded directly into…

Two studies landed this week. The first was from Workday. A quarter of UK workers are spending seven or more hours a week copying information between apps, reconciling conflicting AI outputs, and manually feeding context into prompts. One full working day. Gone. Not to bad AI. To disconnected AI. The second was from KPMG and…

What are you thinking in a developing crisis? Or not? Nobody knows. That is the honest answer. And not knowing is the most dangerous place a person can sit when something feels wrong in their body. It is 2am. Something woke you up. A pressure in your chest that was not there when you went…

For as long as there have been stock markets there have been two kinds of investors. The ones with access to real information and the ones buying what somebody wanted to sell them. You have always been the second kind. Not because you are not smart enough. Not because you do not work hard enough….

Where there is fire there is a firehose. When there is access to it. Lloyd Blankfein spent decades at Goldman Sachs learning one thing above everything else. How to manage risk before it manages you. He sat through the 1987 crash. The dot-com bust. The 2008 financial crisis. He watched Wall Street rebuild itself from…

AI is not the internet. It is the new backboard of where we will work, play, and build. The hacker is the attacker. The Baseline is the enforcer. And the game of cat and mouse just moved to a place most security teams are not watching yet. Google confirmed it this week. Hackers used AI…
