The intelligence we built doesn't think the way we do — and that might be the point
We've spent decades imagining AI as a mind like ours, only faster. But what if the most interesting thing about it is precisely where it diverges?
AI is reshaping how we think, work, and exist. Most coverage tells you what happened. We ask what it means — philosophically, practically, and for the long run.
We've spent decades imagining AI as a mind like ours, only faster. But what if the most interesting thing about it is precisely where it diverges?
If AI can replicate the outputs of a decade of skill-building in minutes, what do we lose? More than we think, and less than we fear.
The Model Context Protocol is nominally a plumbing spec. But it encodes a particular theory of what agents should be.
As we delegate more decisions to AI systems, the moral calculus gets genuinely hard. We should be talking about this more.
"The question isn't whether AI will change everything. It's whether we'll understand it well enough to shape how." — AI for Zebras
