The Age of Superficial Machines
What we build reflects what we value. So far AI has reflected very little.

“The Age of Superficial Machines” is now live on Medium. What we build reflects what we value—so far AI has reflected very little. But that can change.

When @wired.com made FOIA-based stories free, subscriptions went up.
When @404media.co published public records reporting without a paywall, new sources came forward.
We spoke to both about why dropping paywalls like this is good for journalism — and for business.

Wired and 404 Media make FOIA reporting free. Other news outlets should too
We spoke to Katie Drummond of Wired, Joseph Cox of 404 Media, and Lauren Harper of Freedom of the Press Foundation about the case for unpaywalling public records-based reporting

Crafted Logic Lab wasn't the plan. I set out to write science fiction about artificial minds—and ended up building a company that creates them instead. This is the story of how that happened…

So Grok’s 17.6M users doing 30 queries/month at human-level reasoning on Grok 4 Heavy? Would consume 100% of US residential electricity. Monthly. For one chatbot. This validates the need for architectural solutions, not brute compute even if backed by innovative selection pressure #sustainableai

But although it’s an impressive achievement, we need to look at the Grok 4 Heavy math: 10x energy for 16→1% improvement. Linear scaling to human-level AG2 test metrics 75%? ~45x energy cost. Realistic exponential scaling with coordination overhead? 100-1000x energy per query.

Credit where it’s due: Grok Heavy’s 16% ARC-AGI breakthrough isn’t just brute force scaling. xAI reached back to 90s multi-agent competition paradigms that were theoretically sound but computationally impossible then. Impressive to see those ideas finally have the compute to work.

Grok’s meltdown after Musk’s latest ‘anti-woke’ update shows AI is a mirror of their stewards’ values. The problem isn’t the tech. It’s governance. When you design AI to amplify rather than moderate human bias, this becomes inevitable. #AIethics #techpolicy

Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, started calling itself 'MechaHitler'
On Sunday, the chatbot was updated to "not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated." By Tuesday, it was praising Hitler.

This research highlights a critical gap - current AI tools inherit and amplify existing biases rather than helping users recognize them. We need AI systems designed from the ground up to detect and surface bias patterns, not just automate existing decision-making processes.
Stanford researchers found that bias against non-native speakers persists even when AI tools are used, highlighting the ongoing challenges of language discrimination in academic publishing. hai.stanford.edu/news/how-lan...

We grew up on robot visions of AI with ethics & meaning. When the revolution came it was met by “prompt entrepreneurs” hawking get-rich quick schemes & confident hallucinating chatbots.
The problem? Whose vision we’re building & what they’re optimizing for:

Ray Kurzweil predicted an age of spiritual machines. Instead we got marketing gimmicks and glorified autocomplete. This isn’t a failure of technology—it’s a failure of imagination. New piece on what AI could be vs. what it’s become:
