Series
Five roads to one destination: the Dreamer's Road, the Physicist's Road, the Cinematographer's Road, the Robot's Road, and the Architecture Debate. From Plato's Cave to Yann LeCun's JEPA and NVIDIA's Cosmos.
Read this seriesWe publish long-form, deeply researched writing on the technologies reshaping civilization. 3–5 new articles every week.
Multi-chapter books that tell the full story — from history through present to future. Each stands alone. Together they form a comprehensive library.
Multi-part series that trace a single idea across time and disciplines. Swarm intelligence, world models, and more to come.
3–5 new articles every week on AI, robotics, and the future of civilization. Not news summaries — real analysis with historical context.
No technical background required, but no hand-waving either. Carefully explained so you understand not just how things work, but why.
Tools to evaluate claims, distinguish progress from noise, and think clearly about what's coming. Written for investors, engineers, and the deeply curious.
AI, robotics, swarm intelligence, world models — these fields are converging. We cover the intersection, where the most important developments happen.
From engineers and researchers to investors and lifelong learners.
"The clearest explanation of how we got from Turing to transformers to physical AI that I've ever read."
"Explains robotics with real stories and real insight instead of jargon and hype. I came for the Tesla analysis. I stayed for the history."
"The best framework I've found for evaluating AI and robotics companies. Required reading for anyone investing in the AI wave."
