The Ouroboros of Intelligence: AI’s Unfolding Crisis of Collapse
Somewhere in the outskirts of Tokyo, traffic engineers once noticed a peculiar phenomenon. A single driver braking suddenly on a highway, even without cause, could ripple backward like a shockwave. Within minutes, a phantom traffic jam would form—no accident, no obstacle, just a pattern echoing itself until congestion became reality. Motion created stasis. Activity masked collapse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_F2ajqvjw Welcome to the era...

The Fast Pill Fallacy: Why AI is the Unregulated Drug of Capitalism
The Snakebite, the Serum, and the Silicon Savior Yesterday, in a late evening call with a friend, we drifted from quarterly roadmaps to cancer drugs and AI. https://youtu.be/JgR0BZUPAAs They asked, half-jokingly: “What if the market asked us to take an experimental cancer drug immediately, before testing, just because our competitor already did?” It stopped me cold.
