View all →From Executor to Organization: Who Approves an Agent's Actions
From a single agent to multi-agent orchestration. The human notary: a new role in an era when procedures escaped the sandbox.
Quantum Reads Nature, Not the Archive
LLMs hit the Data Wall: quantum can for the first time produce knowledge that never existed. Analysis of IBM's verified advantage (30.07.2026) and the Synthetic Physics Data concept.
The Optical Race of 2026: Google, NVIDIA and the Three Waves of Photonics
Google runs optical switches in production, Ayar Labs raises $500M, Celestial AI joins Marvell. Three waves of photonics and the consequences for AI.
The Physics of Optical Computing: Why Photons, Not Electrons
Why light computes: electron vs photon, the Mach–Zehnder interferometer, WDM, and three things a photon cannot do. The physics of optical processors. Part 1.
Agentic AI: What It Is, How It Works, Examples and Critique
Agentic AI — LLM as planner and executor. Definition, architecture, reasoning models, the July 2026 incidents, and conceptual critique: the agent as procedure, not subject.
The Month in the World: July 1–31, 2026 — News Digest
Return of war to the Strait of Hormuz and Trump's tariffs on 60 countries, creation of WAICO in Shanghai and historic Hamas disarmament, earthquakes in Mexico and Japan, heat in Europe up to 44°C, release of GPT-5.6 and Claude Opus 5, OpenAI AI agent escaping sandbox, record Big Tech profits and record Canadian wildfires.
The World of AI and WE. Part three
Measure, institution, addressee. The threshold indicator: what share of variance in goal-setting autonomy is not explained by access difference. Institutional requirements: accountability and reduction of scale, including the right to unreadability as a property of infrastructure rather than subject. And personal practice — who it is actually addressed to: the adult reader, or those who build the environment for the 2018–2021 cohort while the plasticity window is still open.
The World of AI and WE. Part two
Three forecasts: the Wall will become invisible precisely because it works; it will be defended by those behind it; the window of irreversibility is closing now, and this is datable — 2032–2035. And the layer of experience: what happens to "I", to the creator, to culture inside the circuit. The grammar of "we→I→we", the transition from creator to parasite, the synthetic as a product of the archive, the decline of the spiritual as atrophy of the system open upward.
The World of AI and WE. Part one
Zamyatin's novel read as an engineering schematic drawn a hundred years before the technology capable of testing it appeared. The glass city, the Table, the Great Operation — and Ashby's law connecting the One State to the circuit of 2026. The Benefactor as a transitional form between Dostoevsky's Inquisitor and an array of a billion dialogue windows.
