How 19th-century geometry, a physicist's holographic universe, and a contested theory of AI "psychosis" collide in the race to build intelligence without brute force
Here is a story we tell ourselves about intelligence: it is a furnace. You shovel in data, you shovel in electricity, and if the furnace is big enough, something like a mind flickers to life inside it. Bigger furnace, better mind. It's a satisfying story because it maps onto everything else we believe about power â more of it is more.

Produced by Michelle Bruecker and Scott Bleackley, it features reviews of emerging research and ideas from leading thinkers, curated under our creative direction with AI assistance for voice, imagery, and composition. Systemic voices and illustrative images of people are representative tools, not depictions of specific individuals.
We dive deep into peer-reviewed research, pre-prints, and major scientific worksâthen bring them to life through the stories of the researchers themselves. Complex ideas become clear. Obscure discoveries become conversation starters. And you walk away understanding not just what scientists discovered, but why it matters and how they got there.
