The sources your Daily Try draws from

Language intelligence is only one part of intelligence, because humans also perceive their surroundings and act within the physical world.

Machines have no independent values, so the values inside any AI system are human values.

Self-empowerment in the AI era begins with information, grows through understanding, and also depends on a path to hope.

Every person can learn enough about AI to use it in their own life and work and keep making their own choices.

Technology is an artifact of human curiosity combined with human building and creation.

Human values enter an AI system through the many decisions people make while developing it, yet those values are often missing from public debate.

Playful exploration with no purpose behind it, such as a father bringing home an armadillo, can plant a lasting seed of curiosity in a child.

Public talk about AI swings between total tech utopia, where technology can do no wrong, and doomsday, where AI replaces everyone.

Words like "replacement", "existential crisis" and "human extinction" quietly assume people are not using their agency and are letting technology do whatever it does.

Technology is a double-edged sword that can be used for good or for harm, and public discussion should focus on using it for good.

The core question to ask about AI is how it can help everyday people, reduce their anxiety and increase their sense of empowerment.

Anyone building AI should ask who it serves, what benefits it should bring, who it might hurt and who might be left out.

Intentional questions during building and deployment keep AI a tool of empowerment rather than a tool of laziness that replaces human agency.

Spatial intelligence is the ability to understand, reason about, interact with and create within different spaces and worlds.

Spatial intelligence links perception to action, and robots and other embodied AI are early signs of where it leads.

AI already works beyond language in firefighting drones and robots, Waymo robotaxis, reading pathology images, protein folding and new drug discovery.

Language is a lossy representation of the world, because it cannot describe everything and whatever it fails to capture is dropped.

An intensive care doctor can judge a patient's condition in 5 milliseconds from hands, feet and micro-expressions, a holistic visual reasoning no language describes.

Language models already show large applications in chat, software engineering and research.

Large language models (LLMs) are described as simply not capable of spatial intelligence, because language misses so much of the visual world.

The term artificial general intelligence (AGI) is seen as having peaked and become more of a marketing term than a rigorous scientific one.

AI is a civilizational technology that changes almost every part of life for almost everyone, including health, education, work and communication.

AI reshapes individual lives, society and the economy, and beyond the economy it is changing culture too.

People who stay out of AI entirely may well be harmed by not using it.

Company share prices were already rising and falling on AI advances as of 2026, with large potential shifts in the labour market in view.

Parents are working out how to talk with their children about AI, while AI creation and storytelling enter the culture in positive and negative ways.

Every individual carries a responsibility to themselves, their community and their society to rise to the occasion of AI.

Electricity could kill people and start fires when it first emerged as a civilizational technology.

People learned to use electricity safely and taught their children to use it safely too, while society built products around it.

Cars were horribly unsafe when first invented, yet gave people a transport superpower horse-drawn carriages could never match.
