You Are Not Describing Reality. You're Building It. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Send us Fan Mail 📖 Read How hidden metaphors — arguments as war, time as money, life as a string — secretly architect the way you think, feel, and act Here is a sentence you have said, or thought, or heard someone else say this week: I don't have time to give you right now. Harmless. Practical. You probably didn't notice you were describing your own attention as a bank account with a shrinking balance. You didn't choose that metaphor. It was issued to you, sometime around the Industrial Revo...
Folding Giant AI Brains Into Your Pocket (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Send us Fan Mail 📖 Read How a 40-year-old geometry trick and one elegant theorem are folding billion-dollar AI brains onto the phone in your pocket For the last few years, the story we've been handed about artificial intelligence has had the shape of an arms race. Bigger models. Bigger data centers. Bigger cooling towers humming over small towns, bigger power contracts, bigger price tags. The implicit moral of the story was that intelligence is a real-estate problem: if you want more of it, ...
We Are Standing on a Plate That Is Falling Apart, and That's Somehow Good News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Send us Fan Mail 📖 Read: https://helioxpodcast.substack.com/publish/post/213079308 New deep-sea seismic imaging reveals a tectonic plate ripping apart three miles under the Pacific Northwest — and rewrites what we know about Cascadia's coming megaquake and tsunami risk. Three miles beneath the cold water off Vancouver Island, something enormous is quietly coming undone. A slab of oceanic crust the size of a small country is tearing itself into pieces, dropping five kilometres into the mantle...
🧠 The Body Was the Point All Along (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Send us Fan Mail 📖 Read: https://helioxpodcast.substack.com/publish/post/211910121 Inside the biological rebellion: teaching machines to feel gravity before they learn to talk A particular kind of humiliation is reserved for the extremely smart. You watch someone recite the tax code from memory, then watch them try to parallel park. Something in us enjoys this. It confirms a suspicion we've always carried but rarely said aloud: knowing things and doing things were never actually the sam...
📐The Shape of Thinking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Send us Fan Mail 📖 Read: https://helioxpodcast.substack.com/publish/post/211486864 How 19th-century geometry, a physicist's holographic universe, and a contested theory of AI "psychosis" collide in the race to build intelligence without brute force Here is a story we tell ourselves about intelligence: it is a furnace. You shovel in data, you shovel in electricity, and if the furnace is big enough, something like a mind flickers to life inside it. Bigger furnace, better mind. It's a satisfyin...
