The Science
Our meta-research across disciplines: behavioral economics, cognitive science, complexity science, computer science, decision science, design, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. Science is changing because boundaries between disciplines are dissolving. Our research dissects the latest books and papers. Highly curated, an antidote to information overload.
Eye on Apple
Apple researchers recently published a paper describing a new architecture for vision models. The paper's unique approach to vision modeling hints at Apple's likely strategic imperative towards heavily integrating vision models in spatial computing environments.
The Uneven Impact of AI Expertise on Entrepreneurial Success
Our World of Workflows research discovers that the benefits of AI support are not evenly distributed but rather significantly skewed toward businesses and entrepreneurs that are already succeeding.
Understanding Consciousness Before Building it in AI
Seven books to read to understand theories of consciousness and its implication for how it might be built in AI.
The Economic Reality of AI Means Scale Matters
A recent study from MIT has been grabbing attention with its unconventional take: don't worry about AI snatching your job, it's not cost-effective.
Steps of Prompting
Chain of thought, tree of thoughts, and now graph of thoughts—a progression that may lead to agentic AI.
Bonds with Bots
Does consciousness attribution hold the key to funding AI futures? The shift towards AI intimacy might reclaim our attention but at the potential cost of human-to-human connections.

A New Twist on Occam's Razor: Exploring Complexity through AI
The emergence of complexity from simple algorithms is a phenomenon we see in both natural and artificial systems. It's a classic example of complexity: even straightforward algorithms can lead to immense complexity over time.
AI That Thinks Fast and Slow
Before AI can reason and plan, it needs some "system 2" thinking.
