"The End is Near...So Let's 'Slow Down'?": What AI Resignations Reveal About Corporate Drift (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI safety researchers are walking away from millions in unvested equity to take a public stand against tech labs racing toward the apocalypse. Industry leaders are responding with polite, unified calls to "slow down." It's a great distraction, but if you cut through the noise, you realize the immediate threat to your organization isn't AGI. It's corporate drift, empty values, and the silent departure of your top talent. This week, I'm addressing the high-profile resignation of Jacob Coxon and va
Are We Becoming Robots?: What the Research Actually Says (And How to Avoid It) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI is apparently turning us all into robots. Algorithms are rewiring our brains, flattening human nature, and ending authentic selfhood as we know it. There is even a fancy new (and hard-to-pronounce) academic term for it: Robotoid Humanness . However, if you avoid reacting to the headline and actually look at the research, you'll quickly realize this isn't an inevitable fate that's been sealed. It's an opportunity to examine our passive choices and consider the risks. This week, I decided to un
The Compute Crisis: Sustainably Scaling AI to Avoid Infrastructure Collapse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As tech giants continue announcing massive multi-gigawatt facilities permitted to match the carbon output of entire nations, the default reaction is often polarized, ideological debate. However, if we stopped arguing for a minute, we’d likely find we all agree trying to infinitely scale compute through brute force is more than an environmental topic. It's creating a major infrastructure crisis that affects us all. This week, I decided to touch on this delicate topic after seeing news of Amazon’s
Avoiding the AI Speed Trap: Reclaiming Credibility, Quality, and Human Value in the AI Age (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When blue chip institutions suffer high-profile quality failures, the immediate corporate reaction is often to point fingers at the underlying technology. However, when an organization gets caught publishing fake frameworks and hallucinated citations for years, that isn't an AI failure. It’s a systemic breakdown driven by an obsession with speed, profits, and volume over everything else. This week, I unpack the recent PwC hallucination scandal reported by the Financial Times. While headlines foc
Combating Claudefishing: The Solution to AI Slop Isn’t Measuring AI Involvement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When organizations or platforms encounter a quality crisis or an onslaught of unpopular noise, the default response is to rush toward compliance, policing, and labeling. However, wrapping an algorithmic guess in a false sense of mathematical certainty doesn't fix a quality problem. It creates an illusion of control while breeding paranoia and driving bad behavior underground. This week, I unpack Substack’s recent partnership with Pangram Labs to combat what they’re calling "Claudefishing." As an
