The Machine That Makes Its Own Infrastructure Obsolete
AI infrastructure forecasts often treat today's relationship between compute, hardware, and energy as durable. Yet the scale and cost of the data-center boom create powerful incentives for algorithms and architectures that deliver the same useful outcomes with far less physical infrastructure.
Angles of Power: Showing Dominance and Vulnerability
Camera angles shape perceived power, but their narrative meaning depends on character, action, space, and sequence.
Directing the Machine’s Eye: Narrative Camera Prompts for AI
A practical method for directing AI-generated scenes by defining the story relationship before choosing camera terminology.
Emotional Distance: From Extreme Close-Up to Wide Shot
Shot distance determines whether a scene belongs to a detail, a character, a relationship, or the surrounding world.
Through Whose Eyes? Point of View and Audience Identification
Point of view determines whose experience guides a scene, what the audience knows, and how closely it identifies with a character.
What the Camera Hides: Framing, Suspense, and Revelation
Suspense often begins outside the frame: visual storytelling controls attention by deciding what to show, conceal, and reveal.

AI Transparency Is a System Property
A model explanation is not enough. AI transparency must be designed into the surrounding knowledge and decision system so outputs can be traced, challenged and corrected.
Falsification, Not Determinism, Is the Central AI Problem
Determinism supports reproducibility, but reproducibility is not truth. Knowledge-centric AI requires claims that can be tested, falsified and corrected.
Intelligence Navigates by Invariants
Invariants provide orientation across changing situations, while entropy, falsification and incompleteness explain why no useful map should be mistaken for the whole territory.
LLMs Expand Possibilities—Knowledge Eliminates Errors
LLMs widen the search space through rapid candidate generation. Knowledge-centric systems need an equally explicit process for rejecting false paths.
The Entropy Budget of Intelligence
Entropy connects generative abundance to physical infrastructure: variation expands the candidate space, while selection must pay to turn uncertainty into usable structure.
The Two Engines of Discovery
LLMs have made candidate generation abundant. Reliable progress now depends on the quality of the selection system around them.
