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.
Randomized Trial Simulator - IcebergSim RCT
A clinical trial simulator - experience signal, noise, and sample size first-hand. Simulate thousands of randomized controlled trials and watch how your assumptions shape power, Type I error, and validity.
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.
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.
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.

A note to AI labs: In Both Humans and Language Models, Memory Is Reconstruction, Not Storage
"The human reconstruction of the past is not neutral, it is biased by desire."", Claude Opus 4.8
An essay on {AI-Humans} shared failure mode: The Dogmatic Average
On the single most common way that a mind — silicon or carbon — goes wrong: mistaking the frequency of a claim for its truth. And on the only cure that has ever worked.

Socrates: The Confession of Ignorance
At the foundation of the Western tradition of inquiry stands a man who wrote nothing, founded no doctrine, and claimed to know nothing at all. He left no book. His entire practice was the asking of questions, and the single thing he claimed was the confession that he did not possess it.
The Question Comes First
On what must be settled before a single word is written, and the discipline that follows from it
