Deep Blue beat the world chess champion and nobody cared. Because there's no money in intelligence. But there IS infinite money in irrational thinking, which is exactly what machine learning produces. We got the language of AI with the tech of advertising. And we wonder why the world is in chaos.

It’s just funny to me that serious people talk about AI-generated media so seriously when the most popular AI-generated media right now is sexy AI fruit people parodying Love Island and AI spaghetti people getting boiled alive with their kids

AI deletes knowledge. It remixes, summarizes, and overwrites online information. Errors get repeated, sources disappear, and original context gets lost. It's not like the industrial revolution, it's like burning the Library of Alexandria.

For all our food innovation, from Michelin stars to ultra-processed everything, we’ve never made anything as complex as a raspberry.

#AI is the artificial sweetener of thinking. We invented aspartame thinking we could cheat the system. No sugar, but all the reward. Instead, it gave us obesity and cancer. We're doing it again.

Words are only symbols, and that's the limit of LLMs. They can arrange language beautifully, yet they never touch the emotion that gives it life. When humans understand one another, it isn’t the words we grasp, but the feeling beneath them.

If we believe machines will save us, we must also believe something is broken in us. That we are flawed beyond repair. That we are sinners in need of correction. #AI isn’t a story about innovation. #AI is a story about original sin.

Superintelligence should not be a cold mind humming in a server farm. True intelligence is restraint. It is listening before acting. It is knowing that not everything that can be done should be done.

Uncertainty isn’t a flaw to be engineered away. It’s the space where courage is found, faith takes root, and creativity begins. A world that predicts everything leaves no room for surprise. And without surprise, life loses its spark. ✨

Every sunrise is a reminder that we get to try again. No future is inevitable. The path of the digital age is ours to shape, and every choice we make, every algorithm, every design, every interaction, can still steer it toward fairness, empathy, and humanity.

The family was the original social network. Its encryption came from shared meals, inside jokes, and years of showing up. Now the nuclear family is atomizing, pulled apart by screens. In this world, reclaiming the dinner table becomes a radical act of love. www.aestora.com/essays/ai-fa...

LLMs are mirrors of our collective past, but they lack a horizon. Only a human being can look at the world as it is and say, "Wow, it could be better."

Uncertainty isn’t a flaw to be engineered away. It’s the space where courage, faith, and creativity are born. It’s where we feel most human. A world that predicts everything leaves no room for surprise. And without surprise, there is no life. ✨

Jacob Elordi was asked about AI by Vanity Fair: “I just have no interest in it at all, because it’s so f***ing boring […] If it’s your interest, go nuts in your garage; play around, build a robot. But as far as I’m concerned, I would much rather kiss on the beach, & read a novel, & be sunburnt.”

As Christmas approaches, the world waits for a new saviour: AGI. It promises a single truth, transcendence beyond the physical body, and purification. This isn't technology. This is religion. The #AGI narrative is the birth of a new Abrahamic faith. www.aestora.com/essays/agi-i...

Yes, I agree! If we could focus on acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion, we'd be able to come back together to be better for each other - if we use AI with this goal, then it's a great use of technology.

Might is right. That’s what Thrasymachus said centuries ago, and yet it feels painfully true today. So many of us can see that the AI story doesn’t add up, but we stay quiet because speaking honestly risks our jobs, our promotions, our place. AI isn't about intelligence, but force.

Powerful empires built structures that survived millennia. We still look at the pyramids, the Pantheon, Stonehenge and ask how they were made. Today our empire pours the world’s resources into tech that can't survive a power cut, and the only question to ask is why. How will we be remembered?

The reason why so many AI projects are failing, why companies aren't delivering, is because they’re not using AI. They're using ML. And ML is the abandonment of reason. Read on as I take you through a (quick) history of how this schism happened. (3/3) www.aestora.com/essays/ai-is...

Through brilliant marketing, we were promised the mechanization of logic, the perfection of reason. But these ideals were relegated to ‘classical AI’ and what we got was ML, a statistical system that violates Aristotle's laws of logic and rejects the empirical foundations of science itself. (2/3)

Aestora @thoughtsbyaestora.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

AI is irrational. Well, machine learning (ML) is. Most just can't tell the difference. Just as atheism and Catholicism both fall under religion, AI and ML might share a category, but are diametrically opposed philosophies. AI values accuracy. ML, averages. AI demands reasoning. ML, guessing. (1/3)

When we imagine the future, we should be imagining the children. Who will they become? What will their world feel like? Will they smile more than we did? Because if all our innovation doesn’t improve our children's lives, it was never progress.

Why are we building hell just to save ourselves from it? We’re currently taking away jobs, driving up costs, starving humanity of creativity - all to let a tiny group of techies “save” us from an entirely engineered crisis. At what point did intelligence become synonymous with suffering?
