Why the world feels more complex—and why that feels hard. Why more problems are complex problems. Why organizations struggle with complexity.
A Skeptic's Guide to How Cognitive Biases and Reasoning Errors Fuel AI Hype, Social Learning, The Hidden Cost of ChatGPT is the Erosion of the Digital Commons, and more.
What is complexity? How do complex problems and opportunities differ from simple & complicated? Where do we find complexity?
Our newsletter includes our ideas, our research, and our reviews of the science as well as our picks from others. We send our newsletter once a week because we strive to slow the frantic pace of debates around AI, down-regulating the noise so you can see stories in context.

Generative AI is growing quickly as individuals, corporations, and investors all try to stay ahead. The rapid change is creating optimistic visions of the future while also creating significant anxiety as people justifiably worry about their role in a future of abundant intelligent machines
There is a lot of chatter about whether companies are realizing value from generative AI. Realizing value from generative AI will take time to prepare, capture, and create the data that allows generative AI to understand the context of our complex human lives.
Enterprises are failing to see enough value add to justify purchasing new generative AI systems like Microsoft CoPilot. Why? Adapting to AI is a complex change that requires different methods for evaluation and change management.
Apple + Google is possibly the most important corporate frenemy relationship today. How these two companies establish their positions in generative AI is critical to watch. But how they re-position their partnership to include generative AI might be one of the most important events of the year.
In traditional media, the role of technology has been largely to convey, distribute, or modify content created by humans. Generative AI, however, is different from any previous technology because it is creating the messages itself.
Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman is the one time I would like to be on jury duty.
This week: Generative AI's Undesirable Unpredictability, Sensemaking & AI, Meta-Prompting, Doug Belshaw: Serendipity Surface & AI, Pro: Conversing with AI, Part 1-3, and Pro: February Update.
This week: New research and product previews from Apple, Google, and OpenAI; an interview with Richard Kerris of NVIDIA, crafting better promtps, an interview with Tyler Marghetis, and an exploration of generative AI and flow.
Today, we’re making a change and, in a sailor's terms, yelling out: Jibe Ho! Our jibe is to change the pace of our publishing. Starting now, we will be releasing Artificiality on a weekly basis.
Considering Big Tech's longer-term potential, peril, and possibility with AI.
