Why artificial collective intelligence needs smaller, bounded units of computation closer to the domains they serve.
We stand today at an inflection point in the history of computing. Autonomous AI agents are being deployed at high speed, spawning powerful, increasingly multimodal systems, able to operate across email, documents, apps, codebases, the open web, and shared digital environments. This looks like the long-awaited transition from single-process software to multi-process computing: workflows that […]
AI communication channels may represent the next major technological leap, driving more efficient interaction between agents—artificial or not. While recent projects like Gibberlink demonstrate AI optimizing exchanges beyond the constraints of human language, fears of hidden AI languages must be correctly debunked. The real challenge is balancing efficiency with transparency, ensuring AI serves as a […]
In technology, less can truly be more. Scarcity doesn’t strangle progress—it refines it. DeepSeek, cut off from high-end hardware, and Japan, facing a demographic reckoning, are proving that limitations don’t merely shape innovation—they accelerate it. From evolutionary biology to AI, history shows that the most profound breakthroughs don’t originate from excess, but from the pressure […]
As the AI landscape keeps updating itself at the greatest speed, so does the relationship between humans and technology. By paying attention to the autopoietic nature of this relationship, we may work towards building ethical AI systems that respect both the unique particularities of being a human, and the unique emerging qualities that our technology […]
