Bird flu is still a low-risk story — but not a no-risk one. H5N1 is active in wild birds, poultry, U.S. dairy cows, & sporadic human cases tied to exposure. Clinically, the big takeaway is practical: better exposure histories, better counseling, better surveillance. open.substack.com/pub/darwishm...

AI is less interesting as a fake human mind and more interesting as a system that reshapes institutions. That’s the frame I keep coming back to: not intelligence alone, but social consequence. open.substack.com/pub/darwishm...

AI Is Not Just a Tool. It’s a Social Technology.
The most useful way to understand AI may be not as a brain in a box, but as a system that changes trust, workflows, and decision-making.
