My first pot of chili nearly set my husband on fire. That error? Valuable data. In AI, this is called a “loss function”—and it’s deliciously useful.

Every summer, one ant appears in my kitchen. By morning, there are hundreds. That's exactly how neural networks work. Emergent intelligence.
(Read more so you understand how to explain AI to your auntie using ant analogies.)

Ever wonder what AI really is?
It’s not a brain. It’s not a robot.
It’s... an octopus.
Here’s a quick, strange, and surprisingly helpful way to think about artificial intelligence.

You can now put down a deposit on a home robot. Think "robot butler." But here's the twist: when it gets confused, a remote human operator may take over—and your living room becomes training data. Spoiler: yes, it can fold laundry and load the dishwasher.... just.... slowly.

Robots can do some amazing things, but struggle to do things a toddler can do, like pick up a grape. It's "the hands problem" in robotics. It's why you don't have a humanoid in your house unloading your dishwasher and making you a cup of tea.

The Thai government says it's for "public safety." Privacy advocates say it's a dystopian nightmare. What happens when AI makes a mistake? When bias creeps into the code? When surveillance becomes omnipresent?
