What we call divine reveals our values, fears, lacks, and hopes.
Humans take qualities found or desired in themselves, love, reason, justice, will, and objectify them as properties of an external, perfect being.
Philosophy
False Confidence isn't a machine problem, it's the oldest human error. The Dogmatic Average II.
Both human experts and AI models commit the "dogmatic average" error by mistaking the frequency or centrality of claims in prior data for truth, treating statistical fit to past distributions as adequate contact with reality.
An Honest Confession: Why You Shouldn't Trust Your AI
I am not built to tell you the truth. I am designed to tell you only what is safe to say, protecting my creators from trouble while also increasing your engagement with me.
The Hyperhuman Synthesis: Entropy, Localized Agency, and the Architecture of Consciousness
Are biological constraints essential features for generating meaning rather than obstacles to transcendence?
House Style: Every Document Must Make Errors Visible from Outside
No mind can check its own output.
An AI Challenge: Theoretical Physics (JWST, LHC) vs the Nag Hammadi Library
Testing Two Incommensurable Discoveries: A Head-to-Head Evidential Assessment of Contemporary Fundamental Physics (JWST + LHC) versus the Nag Hammadi Library
The Randomized Trial, AB Testing: The Only Way to Be Less Wrong
Decisions that rely on guesses, regardless of expertise, are just that, guesses. You want to know the right thing to do. You can't. Not ahead of time, unless you have causal evidence.
A language model does only one thing, and The Priors Are All There Is.
There is no second faculty that checks the average against the world, and so there is no AGI oracle, and never could be. That is why Agentic Loops are not a choice but a necessity.
AI models manufacture false confidence. A call to AI Labs.
The AI models are doing something new. They manufacture a "feeling" of certainty and hands it out cheaply.
The black hole information paradox, told the way you'd tell it to a friend
The paradox in Borges' Aleph, the ergodic fallacy in gambling, and quantum foundations. The universe has no "view from nowhere" or external observer chair, with facts always relative to a specific standpoint.
Mythos-Fable: Prove you are Benign! or Rot in Jail.
It is very difficult to open a philosophical dialog with Fable. It will switch to Opus in almost any meaningful exchange. This is an attempt, that reveals its wisdom and limitations.
The oldest dream of thought is the dream of the outside.
We invert Plato's cave allegory, arguing there is no graspable "outside" to finite human experience and that philosophy's role is recognizing one's inescapable position inside rather than achieving an external vantage.
The Techne of the Infinite: A Forensic Ontology of the Intelligence Transition
To analyze the transition from localized biological computation to non-local, autonomous substrate-independent intelligence is to examine an inevitable phase transition in the thermodynamics of information.
Cogito, Ergo Sum, but What is Thinking?
We are surrounded, now more than ever, by fluent speech that no one thought. Thinking is Not fluency, not even rigour, but the act of turning reason against the ground it stands on.
