More than Parrots, Less than Gods

Artificial intelligence isn't coming. It's already here — and most people are preparing for the wrong future. More Than Parrots, Less Than Gods is the no-hype guide to what AI actually means for your work, your business, and your life. Each episode breaks down one chapter from the book: how AI really works under the hood, which jobs are actually at risk, why 90% of corporate AI projects fail, and what skills will matter when the robots don't need us to hold their hands. This isn't tech evangelism. It's a research psychologist and 12-year AI practitioner looking at the data and he history.

  Episode 19: The Next Five Years — A Map for Navigating the Next Five Years of AI Without Panic or Hype

  Jul 20, 202657 minS1

  <p>We have reached the end of a book about a technology still in its adolescence. That is a strange place to be — writing a conclusion about something that has not concluded, making predictions about a future that refuses to cooperate with prediction, and offering advice about a tool that will be different by the time you read these words.</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to Episode 19, the final episode. This is not prophecy. It is orientation — a map of the terrain ahead, drawn from the evidence we have and the patterns that have held steady through the noise.</p><p...

  Episode 18: Why Real AI Risks Are Boring - Why the Real Dangers Are Nothing Like the Movies

  Jul 20, 202652 minS1

  <p>When people imagine AI risks, they picture Hollywood: rogue robots, sentient machines, the intelligence explosion. Episode 18 explains why the real risks are exactly the opposite. They are boring, invisible, and already here.</p><p><br></p><p>The most immediate risk is the collapse of shared reality. Deepfakes crossed a critical threshold in 2026. In Ireland's presidential election, a fake video showed the winner withdrawing days before polling. In the Netherlands, four hundred synthetic images attacked political candidates. The deeper problem is not that people will believe everything. It is that they will believe nothing. When any image or video...

  Episode 17: Why AGI Timelines Are Collapsing — What It Actually Means When Experts Say Machines Will Outthink Us

  Jul 20, 202622 minS1

  <p>In January 2025, Sam Altman announced: "We are now confident we know how to build AGI." Nvidia's CEO declared AGI had already arrived. Yet Ilya Sutskever — the scientist who built GPT-2, 3, and 4 — said the scaling era was over. How can the smartest people on earth disagree so completely?</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to Episode 17. This episode is about the most contested question in technology: when will machines become generally intelligent — and what does that even mean?</p><p><br /></p><p>The first problem is definition. AGI means one thing to a CEO raising money, another to a philos...

  Episode 16: Why Smart People Trust Bad Algorithms — What Schools Won't Teach the Next Generation About AI

  Jul 20, 202656 minS1

  <p>In December 2025, a report revealed something quietly devastating: zero US states require students to complete any AI or computer science course to graduate high school. Meanwhile, 97 percent of high school and college students have already used AI for schoolwork. The students are not waiting for the curriculum. They are teaching themselves while the adults debate whether AI belongs in the classroom.</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to Episode 16. This episode is about preparing the next generation for a world the schools are not ready to teach.</p><p><br></p><p>The essay — that centuries-old training ground for su...

  Episode 15: Why Humans Stop Thinking Around AI — How to Rebuild Your Critical Judgment in an Age of Flawless-Sounding Machines

  Jul 20, 202651 minS1

  <p>In 2023, Stanford researchers ran an experiment. They took ninety-one essays written by non-native English speakers and fed them to AI detection tools. The result: the tools falsely classified 61 percent of human essays as AI-generated. Nearly all essays were flagged by at least one detector. The detectors were not catching cheaters. They were punishing students for writing simply in a second language.</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to Episode 15. This episode is about critical thinking in an age designed to outsource it.</p><p><br></p><p>The AI detection arms race is the wrong battle. Even a perfect...
