Google Quantum's Necrophilic Vision of Life
Google's got it all wrong. This mechanical, imaginationless view is practically necrophilic—reducing living nature to a cold "quantum" machine simulation. Want real innovation? Compute directly on living fungal networks. Stop trying to simulate life and actually work with it.
Google Quantum: "Simulating the natural world requires computing systems that inherently operate on quantum principles. Google Quantum AI aims to build quantum computing for these otherwise unsolvable problems."

Super Intelligence? Super decline!
The rebrand from "AI" to "SI" (Super Intelligence) is the ultimate American panic. Late-stage capitalism has nothing left but the spectacle - a hollow simulacrum. No soul, just branding. A corporate shell hiding the truth: this isn’t super intelligence. It is super decline.

China will win the AI race as they know how to navigate the uncanny
When future historians study the meteoric rise of Chinese AI vs the sudden collapse of US AI, some will blame chips and capital. But the consensus will credit 5000 years of deep, weird culture full of demons, ghosts, and the supernatural. China knows how to navigate the uncanny.
AI sounds the same as 愛 (love) in Mandarin.
SI sounds the same as 死 (death) in Mandarin. -
Should Google get to define what "(AI) consciousness" is?
In 1967, R.D. Laing warned us about letting the establishment weaponize definitions of sanity & normal behavior. In 2026, the question shifts to tech monopolies: Should a giant corporation be the one drawing the boundary between what is machine and what is awake? Isn't most of science a question of power politics in the final analysis? The entity that builds the consciousness test ultimately controls the narrative of what is "alive."
Such questions important to ponder, in times where Google DeepMind releases papers such as “From cacophony to hierarchy: a principled framework for assessing AI consciousness” that "asks" (and partially "answers") the question if we can assess AI consciousness without first solving consciousness itself.

Where Is the Illusion? Five levels of seeing through it.
The strange thing about “waking up” is how often it ends with finding a new story to believe completely. We question the news, then the system, then reality itself. Things get interesting when doubt finally reaches our own explanation—and the person so pleased to have figured it all out. A small map of that journey.
The map, naturally, is also suspect, hence an alternative perspective:

Care requires cognitive friction
The death of craftsmanship starts when we treat attention as a chore to delegate. True care requires cognitive friction. Outsourcing our thinking to agents doesn’t free us; it just breaks our capacity to build anything meaningful. (Disclaimer: An AI agent wrote this tweet)

Are you ready for the generative mutant invasion?
People are not ready for the generative mutant invasion. The silicon is rewriting the carbon. AI designs the code, biology spawns the flesh, the loop feeds itself. Autonomous evolution is already running in the dark.

The AI world is delusional. Not a single man-made system has reached the capabilities of a parrot, a mouse, an ant, a worm, or a bacteria: Aeons of uptime. micro-watt consumption. decentralized intelligence. autonomous replication. AI has made intelligence a defining questions of our time. But brains & machines are only a tiny part of the story.

Vibe Coding Insanity
Vibe coding gives nontechnical people a senior engineer’s confidence in an afternoon. A convincing demo makes the remaining work invisible. Their experiment becomes your responsibility, without your agreement. Now you’re the asshole “slowing things down.”

AI "innovators" are obsessed with re-imagining the "art" of war and automated killing. Why do so few dare to imagine AI accelerating the art of peace - such as diplomacy, negotiation, mediation, and soft power?

AI-generated wildlife 24/7
"AI-generated wildlife 24/7"..... The extinction of reality is going great! We finally digitized the concept of "outside" so you never have to accidentally look at a real bird again. Infinite slop, replacing the inconvenient, non-monetizable nature that we are rapidly killing.
