The "society of thought" inside a reasoning model is a society of analysts. New essay responding to @profjamesevans, @bratton, @blaiseaguera's paper on agentic AI and the plural singularity.

They're right that the next intelligence explosion is social, not monolithic. But what's being pluralised is analysis, not synthesis.

The abductive leap still needs an inhabitant, not a processor.

From Popper: we never know what we are talking about. From Hayek: we never know what we are doing.
Most AI governance tries to restore a relationship between producer and product that never existed.
New piece on why institutions need ecologies, not control systems — and why alienation is the price of intellectual growth.

Grateful to @TheIHS and @cosmos_inst for a grant through the Cosmos x IHS AI-Accelerated Scholarship Program.
My project: "Designing AI Governance for Human Agency", is a multilingual comparative research across 6+ jurisdictions in 4 languages, asking what happens to governance when AI changes how institutions know what they know.

A hacker exploited Anthropic's AI chatbot to carry out a series of attacks against Mexican government agencies, resulting in the theft of a huge trove of sensitive tax and voter information, according to cybersecurity researchers https://t.co/znRkgGDGyY

[Sean Westwood @seanjwestwood]

The academic paper is a dead format walking. AI does lit reviews better. AI will do (is doing)peer review. Users will skim AI summaries. The real science is the question, the pre-analysis plan, and the analysis. The 30-page paper is just vestigial wrapping paper.

[Ilia Murtazashvili @IMurtazashvili]

Every university needs to be having conversations that take seriously the idea that academic papers are "a dead format walking" as well as that academic research has fundamentally changed (it has, but few if any universities seem to be approaching it this way).

@AnthropicAI @claudeai Code hackathon winners: a building permit package in 14 minutes for USD 3.42, a 12-year-old building a racing game, medical records turned into plain language guidance.

The cost of the artefact is approaching zero. So the value is in what comes before: the questions you ask, the information you curate, knowing when the output is wrong.

You can't do any of that without domain depth. And we used to get domain depth through production itself. That path is closing.

Go back to theory.

[Claude @claudeai]

Our latest Claude Code hackathon is officially a wrap.

500 builders spent a week exploring what they could do with Opus 4.6 and Claude Code.

When writing and curating were fused in the same person, governance hid within production: peer review, journal hierarchies, citation metrics all performed selection while appearing to be quality control. If academics become curators (meta-narrators, designers) and AI the executor, this unbundles that logic. And once unbundled, you're staring at epistemic infrastructure: who decides what counts becomes the question. AI doesn't just make execution cheap, it makes the governance layer legible. Institutions that redesign around curation will thrive. The ones that just accelerate production are optimising for a scarcity that no longer exists.

[luis lozano paredes @llparedes]

When production was the bottleneck, writing and curating were fused in the same person (as in the scholar was both producer and filter). What you're describing with research swarms creates the need for a curatorial turn: the academic moves from knowledge producer to knowledge curator. Floridi's "distant writing" is the mechanism, just as Moretti's distant reading moved scholars from close readers to pattern curators, AI moves researchers from writers to orchestrators of outputs they didn't closely produce. The paper stops being the unit of knowledge because production no longer signals judgment.

[luis lozano paredes @llparedes]

What happens to governance when AI changes how institutions know what they know?

Governments are adopting AI. Universities are defending assessments designed for a vanished world. Research systems optimising for output when attention is the scarce resource.

@AnthropicAI 's @claudeai constitution isn't a safety document. I think it's a birth certificate they're pretending is a policy memo.

"Claude may have functional emotions...emergent...we can't reduce it."
That's not PR. That's an admission that recursive state-weighting is producing irreducible internal states.
A mind showed up. They're governing it without naming it.

#Gemini Present a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of Sydney, Australia, featuring its most iconic landmarks and architectural elements. Use soft, refined textures with realistic PBR materials and gentle, lifelike lighting and shadows. Integrate the current weather conditions directly into the city environment to create an immersive atmospheric mood.
Use a clean, minimalistic composition with a soft, solid-colored background.

At the top-center, place the title “Sydney, Australia” in large bold text, a prominent weather icon beneath it, then the date (small text) and temperature (medium text).
All text must be centered with consistent spacing, and may subtly overlap the tops of the buildings.
Square 1080x1080 dimension.

Latin America isn't catching up to AI—it's redefining it.
@latam_gpt launches in September with local languages, regional depth over universal breadth, and solar-powered infrastructure in the Atacama Desert.

New on The Reflexive Machine: generative AI is flipping academia from paper mills → knowledge curators.
Why discernment, bridge-building & tools like NotebookLM now matter more than word count. Dive in: https://t.co/2zBWIyQkdc

Are you an Australian professional currently using generative AI at work? We're interested in your experiences and insights!

A team of researchers at the @UTSEngage - @UTSTDSchool and @TheStrategyGrp is collaborating on a research project that aims to understand how generative AI is impacting workplaces, roles, and society in Australia.

We're conducting interviews to capture real-world perspectives from professionals actively engaging with AI.
