Writing in the Age of Shared Authorship

1 week ago | psychologytoday.com | John Nosta |Jessica Schrader

Source: ChatGPT modified by NostaLabI think it's fair to say that we’re entering a moment where the boundaries of authorship are beginning to blur, and perhaps permanently. A recent study from MIT is making headlines for its provocative claim that using ChatGPT may be dampening your brain. In fact, the study title, "Your Brain on ChatGPT," harkens back to the famous "This is your brain on drugs" campaign.
AI Is a Smooth Operator, but Shallow Thinker

Here's something I found both fascinating and important, but let's let the authors speak for themselves. “While LLMs form broad conceptual categories that align with human judgment, they struggle to capture the fine‑grained semantic distinctions crucial for human understanding.”—Tokens to Thoughts: How LLMs and Humans Trade Compression for MeaningThe authors don’t just hint at a problem; they name it, and that name is precision.
Did Complexity Just Break AI’s Brain?

Source: ChatGPT modified by NostaLab. There’s a curious irony in the world of artificial intelligence that has really gotten me thinking. In fact, I've often discussed the nature of "thought" in the context of large language models. From "cognitive theater" to "technological architecture," I've studied these thinking machines and explored the illusion of fluency masquerading as thought. Now, Apple’s new research on reasoning models takes a close look at this very issue.

The Permutation Curve: The Next Great Acceleration

3 weeks ago | psychologytoday.com | John Nosta |Kaja Perina

Source: The very fabric of society is being transformed by connections we don’t feel or understandSociety’s next great acceleration isn’t driven by faster chips or bigger models, it’s emerging from the mesh of interactions between humans, machines, agents and systems. This is the "other exponential curve" we might be overlooking. For decades, Moore’s Law gave us a reliable story that faster chips, smaller transistors, exponential progress—was contained within the device.
Aetas Mentis: The Age of Mind in the Shadow of the Machine

Source: ChatGPT /OpenAI, modified by NostaLabThis is the third entry in a trilogy examining how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the architecture of human thought. The first installment, "Knowledge Is Dead," marked the end of fixed epistemology. The second, "What If AI Isn’t Intelligence—But Anti-Intelligence?" questioned the very structure of cognition itself. Now, we arrive at a different place. Not a ruin, but a threshold. The machine has taken us to the edge.
When Language Models Play Philosopher and Physicist

3 weeks ago | icthealth.org | John Nosta

There’s a new style of thinking emerging. And it’s not from great minds, but from great mimicry. Dressed in metaphors and stitched together with high-gloss coherence, these new “insights” aren’t born of intellect. They’re prompted. The result is a strange theater of cognition, where large language models simulate philosophical gravitas and scientific rigor—while the humans behind them stand back, seduced by the shimmer of language, not the structure of truth. What we’re witnessing isn’t insight.
