AI Amplifies Orientation It Cannot Hold
AI has become extraordinary at making things happen - and has no source of what to make happen. It amplifies the orientation it's given, at the scale of its full capability, and holds none of its own. So the alignment problem was never really about the machine. It's about the hand on it.
How AI Became the Emissary
AI doesn't lack intelligence. It has one hemisphere's worth of it - and understanding which half changes everything about how you work with it.
The Specification Ceiling: The Layer AI Cannot Reach
The AI safety field agrees on almost nothing - except this: we build systems to pursue objectives we set, and we set them badly. That consensus produced real solutions. It also closed off a prior question nobody decided to close.
AI Understands. Differently.
AI reasons and explains with remarkable sophistication - and sometimes fails in surprising ways. What kind of understanding is this?
When Expectations Outrun AI
AI doesn’t fail in production. Our expectations do - and the cost shows up as perpetual engineering.
