The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.— Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) October 24, 2026

For AI products, people generally think the intelligence dominates everything, while privacy and cost are seen as secondary. The industry’s path shows this: we’ve spent huge money in leading labs to build the largest models with exceptional intelligence.But I believe we’ve… pic.twitter.com/oobAyk55rh— Luozhu (@LuozhuZhang) September 10, 2025
AI Is a Product of Humanity. Humanity Should Own AI.
Big Tech has looted humanity’s creative output to create artificial intelligence. We don’t just deserve a share of AI’s profits — we deserve control over it.
"AI" is Automated Inequality
Tech bros still dominate the discussions about so-called "AI" with false claims. Even most "AI"-critical researchers spend much of their time meticulously debunking (always only a subset of) claims, leaving vast areas of the economic consequences of "AI" unexplored. (Even the "AI"-evangelist Economi
AI Has No Wisdom and Neither Will You
Certainly the industry is transforming, however, the people and organizations falling into the trap of no longer reading and writing code only do so at their peril.
Collective Governance for AI: Points of Intervention
People often speak about AI as if it is one thing. It can seem like that when we use today’s most popular interfaces: a single product, packaged by an unfathomably big company. But that view is both misleading and disempowering. It implies that only the big companies could possibly create and control this technology, because only they can handle its immensity. But another orientation is possible.

Will AI ruin the social sciences — or revolutionize them?
The technology can whip up spurious findings and pollute survey responses, but it could also make research more rigorous.
The stupidity of AI
The long read: Artificial intelligence in its current form is based on the wholesale appropriation of existing culture, and the notion that it is actually intelligent could be actively dangerous
AI demands more engineering discipline. Not less
If you lived through the shift from handcrafted server pets to immutable infrastructure, you should sense something oddly familiar about what's happening now.
AI Is a Waste of Time
The newest AI tools are accelerating basic research and scaring the general public. But many people are simply using them as toys.
