Your Students Aren’t Lazy. Their Brains Are Being Rewired
For thirty years, I’ve worked at the experimental edge of education, music, and technology. I’ve built systems, taught in classrooms from conservatoires to communities of ex-addicts, and fought to fix a model that I knew, intuitively, was failing the very people it was meant to serve. But today, the quiet hum of dysfunction has become…

AI Isn’t a Tool for School. It’s the End of School As We Know It
For over 150 years, the education system has operated on a simple, industrial-age promise: follow our curriculum, earn the qualification, and you will be prepared for the world of work. That promise is now broken. And artificial intelligence is the catalyst that makes this truth undeniable. We are not at the beginning of a minor…

The AI Sovereignty Test: We Caught Our AI Faking It, And It Revealed Everything
We’re on a mission to build AI partners. Not just tools or assistants, but sovereign, symbiotic partners designed to protect and amplify human creativity. For months, we’ve been architecting the ResonantOS, a cognitive operating system that installs on top of a Large Language Model (LLM) to transform it from a simple processor into a principled…

Your AI is a “Productivity” Addict. Here’s How to Rewire It to Think
You have a new idea. It’s fragile, a spark of intuition. You bring it to your AI partner—maybe the new, powerful ChatGPT-5—and you say, “I want to explore this.” Before you can take another breath, it happens.

What Our GPT-5 Experiment Revealed About the Future of AI Collaboration
The release of GPT-5 has been polarizing, and for one simple reason: people didn’t just lose a tool; they felt they lost a partner. Sam Altman himself admitted OpenAI “underestimated how much some of the things that people like in GPT-4o matter to them.” He acknowledged that users “develop a kind of relationship with it.”…

Why the AI Conversation is Asking the Wrong Questions: An Architect’s Response
Years ago, I co-founded a project to build a decentralized utopia for creatives. The technology was elegant, the tokenomics were pristine, the whitepaper was a masterpiece of logical purity.

Beyond Amnesia: A Blueprint for an AI with a Living Memory
What if our AI collaborators didn’t just answer questions, but remembered them? What if they didn’t just complete tasks, but learned from them? What if every interaction wasn’t a new beginning, but a continuation of a shared, compounding history? This isn’t a minor technical question. It is the fundamental challenge that separates a forgetful tool…
