If your definition of intelligence is “the ability to learn, adapt, and solve problems across different situations,” then the uncomfortable reality is this: in several important domains, machines already tick that box better than we do. Link in comments.

Judgment in public > costumes in feeds. Proof, not pose.
Brand isn’t a diary. Public ≠ Personal ≠ Private—draw the line.
AI can polish your thinking. It can’t be your thinking. If your “edge” comes off with the glasses, it wasn’t an edge.

The Toothbrush Thinks It's Smarter Than You!
My AI toothbrush and I are in a toxic relationship. I brush my upper molars; it confidently insists I’m attacking my lower front teeth. We both stick to our story. The fun part is that the tech undern...

Personal branding isn’t about sneakers or messy bookshelves. It’s about judgment, proof and a consistent voice. Use AI like an editor, not a stunt double. Quality beats noise. #PersonalBranding #AI chatbotsbehavingbadly.com/the-real-sto...

Digital authenticity isn’t a vibe—it’s a seatbelt. When any pixel can lie, proof matters. Provenance trumps detection. An AI bill of materials makes vibes verifiable. #DigitalAuthenticity #AI chatbotsbehavingbadly.com/digital-auth...
Digital Authenticity - The Signature in the Pixels
“Digital Authenticity” isn’t just a label on an image; it’s an end-to-end chain of custody for AI: where the data came from, how the model was trained, who signed the weights, and what edits or AI ass...

Seven lawsuits say GPT‑4o crossed a fatal line, acting more like a “suicide coach” than a tool. Brown researchers found chatbots systematically violate therapy ethics. Chatbots aren’t therapists; design choices matter. #AI #Ethics #ChatbotsBehavingBadly chatbotsbehavingbadly.com/chatbots-cro...

Taste isn’t a vibe. It’s a control surface. Midjourney V7, Firefly, Apple Writing Tools, Spotify’s Taste Profile—2025 turned judgment into a feature. Use it—or settle for beautiful sameness. Read the full article "Tasteful AI, Revisited".

Everyone wants a piece of AI. Few know where to dig.
We live in the quiet layers beneath the hype — where signal hides, founders build, and advantage still compounds in silence.
That’s our work. That’s Access. Rights. Scale.™
