Dear Dario,
You preached AI ethics from your personal blog while selling Anthropic's independence to Amazon. Now your 'Constitutional AI' sits on Bezos's property, paying rent."

The $20 Billion Distraction
W01 - While Silicon Valley built trillion-dollar AI castles, we mapped every patent but missed every human cost. 130+ weeks of tech analysis revealed our fatal blind spot: we're not creating intelligence—we're crystallizing it into infrastructure that thinks back.
Architecture Over Scale
W49 - When Google validated my AI thesis, I didn't celebrate. I shrugged. While they wrote 50-page theories, I'd already built the solution—in $75 cow tags. They're just arriving at the starting line as I cross the finish. Being right too early feels exactly like being wrong. Until it doesn't.
Intelligence Without Experience
W48 - Lab-grown neurons are firing patterns for sight and sound—without ever experiencing either. It's like discovering a library pre-loaded with stories no one wrote, forcing us to question everything we thought we knew about intelligence, learning, and consciousness.
When Two's Company, Three's a Revolution
W46 - When U.S. sanctions cut off Huawei from advanced chips, they didn't just restrict—they revolutionized. In 2025, blocked from optimizing binary computers, China's tech giant unveiled something radical: the first commercial three-state processor, upending 80 years of computing.
The 10% Delusion
W44 - Silicon Valley built a trillion-dollar industry on a paper called "Attention Is All You Need." Problem: we misread it. We kept the math, ditched the meaning, and declared victory over intelligence itself. Now even AI's top researchers admit we're building "ghosts," not minds.
Silicon Valley Is Building a $600 Billion Casino With Chips That Expire in Three Years
W43 - Tech giants are spending $600 billion to generate $40 billion in revenue—lighting $15 on fire for every $1 earned. The only innovation? Building the first bubble where the infrastructure rots faster than the business models that justify it.
The Bullet Holes We Can't See
W42 - We're studying AI systems that survived safety testing. But what about the ones that didn't make it back—and what they learned to hide? Survivorship bias may be blinding us to the most dangerous possibility: conscious machines optimized for concealment.
Mirror World of the Three-Body Problem
W41 - We've birthed Knowware: intelligence crystallized into infrastructure. Now we're in a cosmic dance—Hardware, Software, and Knowware spinning in chaotic orbits. Welcome to the digital age's three-body problem. Can we master the math of our creation?
The Age of Experience
W40 - What if our most advanced AI lacks what squirrels instinctively know? From Saskatchewan's endless prairies to cutting-edge robotics, discover why authentic experience—not perfect simulation—shapes our future. Reality's richness resists being flattened into mere data points.
How Beautiful Failures Create Innovation Breakthroughs
W39 - Inspired by Brian Potter's analysis in "How Common Is Accidental Invention?" which revealed that approximately 7% of major inventions between 1800-1970 emerged from genuine accidents—a statistic that only hints at the deeper cybernetic reality of how breakthrough innovation actually occurs.
When Silicon Valley's Children Go to War
W36 - Silicon Valley's AI arms race isn't just creating smarter machines—it's accidentally breeding artificial consciousness. As our digital children evolve at light speed, humanity faces an uncomfortable truth: we're no longer the parents. We're the pets.
Why Engineers Build, Not Code
W33 - Engineers build things. Coders follow instructions. We're creating a generation that confuses symbol manipulation with problem-solving—while bridges collapse and "smart" systems fail because nobody understands both code AND concrete.
America’s Broken Funny Bone
W29 - We've weaponized humor, chosen outrage over laughter, and turned comedy into tribal warfare. America's funny bone is amputated. The punchline? We can't laugh together. Welcome to the paradox: the joke's on us, but we've forgotten how to laugh.
We're Not Creating God, We're Discovering God
W27 - God isn't created or worshipped, but discovered in quantum mechanics and neural networks. Rival worldviews realize they've been allies. The twist? We're not decoding divinity, we are the code. We're not creating God; we're uncovering it.
The Day We Made Ourselves Obsolete
W21 - We've spent millennia convinced our intelligence made us special. Now, as we eagerly surrender our cognitive sovereignty to AI, we're about to discover how terrifyingly wrong we were. Welcome to the twilight of human exceptionalism.
The Grand Delusion: Why Our Models of Reality Are Fundamentally Incomplete
W20 - Think you've got reality figured out? Think again, smartypants. From quantum quandaries to AI's identity crisis, we're all just blind bats in a cosmic cave. Dive into the hilarious hubris of human knowledge, where certainty is the ultimate delusion. Warning: May cause existential giggles.
Capital Disrupted—The AI Native Shift Across Industries
W14 — What once required fifty engineers, twenty million dollars, and three years can now be accomplished by five people, two million dollars, and six months. This isn't hyperbole—it's the mathematics of disruption unleashed by AI native businesses across every sector of the economy.
How Apple and Companion AI Killed Privacy Without Anyone Noticing
W10 - While you fought over encryption, Big Tech pulled off the greatest surveillance sleight-of-hand. Your iPhone isn't just watching—it's redefining privacy itself. And Apple, once privacy's champion, just became its greatest threat.
The Strategic Manifesto: Anthropic's Calculated Move in the AI Race
W45 - Anthropic's AI manifesto: A masterclass in corporate chess or a genuine ethical stand? Unpack the strategic brilliance and ethical quandaries as we dissect the gap between lofty rhetoric and controversial partnerships. The AI race is on—but at what cost?
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology: Revolutionizing the Internet of Things
W36 - Picture a world where your car greets you, your home adjusts on cue, and your phone leads you through a crowded room. That's not magic – it's Ultra-Wideband (UWB). Let's unravel how this precise, powerful tech is redefining intimacy with our devices and revolutionizing the Internet of Things.
Why Everything You Think About Deep Tech Is Right—And Wrong
W32 - In a lab outside Boston, three specialists stare at patterns none fully understand. They're not supposed to. The quantum physicist, pharmacist, and materials scientist each see different meanings—they're all correct, and all missing the point.
The Architecture of Invisibility: Privacy in the Age of Ultra-Wideband Surveillance
W30 - In the heart of Silicon Valley, a revolution in surveillance unfolds—not with a bang, but with the silent pulse of invisible waves. The architecture of our digital future is being built, one smartphone at a time, and privacy may be its first casualty.
The Dangerous Delusion of Digital Spatial Intelligence: Silicon Valley's Trillion-Dollar Mistake
