(And Why Misunderstanding Them Creates Risk) Executive summary Modern AI systems—especially large language models—do not think, understand, reason, or decide in any human sense. They calculate. At runtime, they produce a probability distribution over possible next tokens based…
Friction Is the Point Nothing Is More Dangerous Than Getting Away With It Once The most dangerous moment in system design is not failure.It is early success. When a fragile system fails, attention increases.When it succeeds once, confidence grows.When…
AI Makes People More Themselves One of the most persistent misconceptions about AI is that it changes people. It doesn’t. AI amplifies people. Whatever already exists in an organization—good or bad—AI scales it, accelerates it, and makes it harder to ignore.…
