Why Silicon Valley's Obsession With 'High Agency' Is TOXIC

There’s an old joke I used to hear in Poland. A manager wants to hire a new employee and asks his assistant to collect résumés. A week later, she proudly carries a stack of résumés into his office and hands them to him. He takes half and throws them in the trash and says, “We don’t want people who are unlucky!” In an oddly similar vein, Silicon Valley pundits are obsessed with the concept of “high agency,” popularized by Eric Weinstein, who described it this way: “When you’re told that something

The AI That Just Learned to THINK in a Completely Different WAY

For almost a decade, AI researchers have been obsessed with one kind of artificial intelligence—large language models (LLMs), which they train to write, talk, and reason using words. The tech industry is making an enormous bet that making such models bigger and smarter is the path to superintelligence.  But in 2026 some very high-profile AI researchers doubt that this word-centric approach is the whole answer. Among them is Andrew Dai, a veteran AI researcher who left Google DeepMind to build mo
