Systems from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI struggle when asked to predict scores over football season.
Science & Technology
Why Simulation Is Not Explanation
AI systems can now simulate with remarkable fidelity. They generate text, predict outcomes, and reproduce patterns across domains. In many cases, they are not just useful—they are operationally superior.
AI is Making Bad Abstractions More Convincing
Leaders today are not short on data. If anything, they are saturated—dashboards, simulations, metrics, forecasts.
We Keep Asking AI the Wrong Question
AI is advancing rapidly in prediction—forecasting demand, generating text, anticipating behavior. The gains are real. But the framing is incomplete.
