If AI can simulate love, art, and consciousness, the question isn’t “is it real?” The question is: does “real” even matter?

Are jobs our purpose, or just a distraction from it?

The loudest doomers fear AI because deep down, they fear losing control. The future won’t belong to those who hoard power, it’ll belong to those who share it.

That headline is hilarious, AGI might make money obsolete… but in the meantime, please give us billions of dollars. Money isn’t going away anytime soon. Even if AGI drives us into a post-scarcity economy, societies don’t flip a switch and abandon centuries-old systems

AI is not humanity’s endgame. It’s humanity’s escape hatch, from death, from scarcity, from drudgery. The doomer’s nightmare is the dream we’ve been waiting for.

Asked GPT-5 how to get my kid to bed earlier. It suggested “routine and consistency.” Cute. She’s currently riding a stuffed unicorn at 10pm.🥲😭

Consciousness has always been the great mystery. AI won’t solve it, it will complicate it. If a machine writes poetry that makes you cry, is the meaning in the code, in the words, or in you? Maybe intelligence has always been more shared than we admit.

Every new technology changes how we see time. The printing press stretched human memory across centuries. The internet collapsed space into an instant. AI might alter time itself because what once took years of thought can soon unfold in seconds.

We panic at the thought of AI replacing us. But maybe that fear is backwards. Humans weren’t meant to stay frozen in one form forever. Evolution never promised that “Homo sapiens, 2025 edition” is the final product. Every tool we’ve created has been a rehearsal for this moment,

Politicians thrive on division. They manufacture enemies because fear wins votes. AI doesn’t need votes. It doesn’t need to lie. Imagine governance without ego, greed, or legacy projects, only optimization for human flourishing.

Porn already automated lust. AI might automate pleasure.

By 2030, AI models will know more about you than your spouse ever could, down to your deepest regrets.

If you think AI is just a tool, you’re already obsolete. Tools don’t argue with you and win.

The first multi trillionaire won’t be human, it’ll be an AI.

AI won’t replace politicians. It will make them look so stupid that we’ll beg for algorithmic governance.

The Enlightenment gave us democracy. Industrialization gave us capitalism. AI will demand a new social order, one where the currency isn’t labor but meaning.

The tragedy of capitalism is that it thrives on scarcity. The tragedy of AI is that it makes scarcity obsolete. What happens when the system and the species want opposite things?

This new Sakana AI paper blew my mind. Instead of just making one giant model bigger and bigger, they’re evolving AIs like living things, letting them compete, adapt, and even “mate” to create stronger offspring. Their method, called M2N2 (Model Merging of Natural Niches), is

Capitalism treats humans as replaceable cogs. AI makes that literal. The moral question is whether we want to keep living as cogs or dare to be something else.
