History shows that successful adaptation requires taking active control of information filters rather than passively accepting them. Just as Renaissance scholars developed personal commonplace books to organize knowledge, and early internet users created bookmarking systems before Google dominated search, we need personalized AI curation systems...

The finding is elegant and disturbing: when AI systems are trained on data generated by previous AI systems—a scenario increasingly common as synthetic content floods the internet—the models progressively lose their ability to represent rare and subtle patterns. The statistical tails of the distribution vanish. The models converge toward median,... See more
We are now operating inside an ecosystem defined by automation, algorithmic decisioning, and data-driven optimization. Transactions move faster than relationships can form. Artificial intelligence increasingly intermediates judgment. Metrics have replaced meaning as the default language of value. And yet, amid this acceleration, a paradox has... See more
Don’t get fooled. Although curation can save very significant time to those who benefit from it, it positively does not save any time at all to the curators who exercise it.
