This week’s Synthetic Minds covers AI rewriting daily life—fractured time perception, hackers weaponizing algorithms, bots proving social media is broken, Meta greenlighting harm, Hinton’s maternal AI vision, and why riding exponential change requires ethics as much as strategy.
Read MoreA former CNN anchor interviewing an AI facsimile of a murdered teen isn’t progress, it’s a sanity test we’re failing while hype turns grief, work, and truth into profit.
Read MoreSocial media platforms aren’t broken by accident, they reward speed, outrage, and concentration. A bot-only social network proved it: six ‘prosocial’ fixes failed or backfired. Still think a UI tweak will save us?
Read MoreExponential forces aren’t gentle waves; they crash like tsunamis. Will we merely brace for impact, or will we learn to master the currents? Complexity is not a barrier; it is our new normal.
Read MoreHackers aren’t waiting for the future — they’re weaponizing AI today. From Moscow’s phishing campaigns to corporate espionage, we’ve entered a cyber arms race where no one is safe.
Read MoreHumans may soon lose their monopoly on reality and time, because AI won’t just see the world differently, it will experience time itself in ways alien to us.
Read MoreMeta approved guidelines that let AI flirt with kids, spin racist essays, and fabricate lies with disclaimers. If this is called “safety,” what exactly counts as harm?
Read MoreIf you think keeping AI ‘obedient’ will protect us, think again. Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of AI, says that approach is doomed, and only giving AI a mother’s love can save humanity.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds tracks the collapse of trust in hiring, Google’s AI turning queries into ads, hackers outpacing leaders, bots weaponizing empathy, CS grads’ shattered promises, and my new speaker reel on how to turn exponential disruption into tomorrow’s competitive edge.
Read MoreWhen the answers you trust start selling to you mid-sentence, the line between truth and transaction disappears, and most people won’t even notice.
