The Missing Half of Intelligence | 智能缺失的另一半

AI has mastered language and logic. But neuroscience shows that stripping away emotion makes reasoning collapse. If the social brain hypothesis is right, we have been optimizing for a secondary capability while ignoring the primary one.

We Taught Machines to See the World. Can We Teach Them to See Us? | 我们教会了机器看世界,能教它看懂人吗?

Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs and Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs are racing to build world models that understand physics and space. But nobody is building the equivalent for human behavior — even though we arguably have more data about people than about physics.

Sell Results, Not Advice | 卖结果,不卖建议

KPMG just gave 276,000 employees access to Claude. A tax adjustment that took weeks now takes minutes. The real opportunity isn’t faster consulting — it’s a new kind of firm that sells outcomes, not advice.

Software Ate the World. Now It Needs a Body. | 软件吞噬了世界,现在它需要一具身体

AI can generate any software in seconds. But it still can’t turn on your treadmill. The real bottleneck in the AI era isn’t code — it’s hardware that refuses to be programmed.
