OpenAI, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, xAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Google, Apple… all these companies are racing to build AGI by 2025, and once achieved, it will be replicated by dozens of others within weeks. The idea of creating a compressed knowledge base of humanity, extracting information, and iterating on outputs to optimize results is no longer revolutionary. Thousands of engineers worldwide can replicate what OpenAI has accomplished because it primarily involves scaling up Transformers — a model developed by Google, which itself was just an advancement of prior AI research. But what comes ne ..read more

The Photoelectric Paradox: What AI Reveals About Human Brilliance… Photo by Greg Rakozy on Unsplash In 1905, Albert Einstein published a paper on the photoelectric effect — a deceptively simple observation that light could eject electrons from metals. This work, which later won him the Nobel Prize, didn’t just explain an oddity in physics. It shattered classical mechanics, birthing quantum theory and reshaping our understanding of reality. But here’s a provocative question: Could an AI, trained on 19th-century data, have made the same leap? The answer isn’t just about physics. I ..read more

A couple of days ago, the New York Times published an article by Emma Goldberg asking, “Will AI Kill Meaningless Jobs?” Goldberg begins the article with a techno-optimist’s perspective, suggesting that when generative AI destroys opportunities for humans to work, it’s an ultimately of benefit to human workers, because the jobs that are replaced by AI tools are meaningless drudgery. Perhaps when AI does away with these jobs, she suggests, it’s a mercy killing, because nobody enjoyed doing them anyway. Goldberg’s article eventually considers a few of the problems with this techno-optimist o ..read more
