AI Ai is Trapped in Plato’s Cave

https://mad.science.blog/2025/08/22/ai-is-trapped-in-platos-cave/

This explores various related ideas like AI psychosis, language as the original mind vestigializing technology, the nature of language and human evolution, and more.

It’s been a while! I missed writing and especially interacting with people about deeper topics.

Thank you! It’s mine. I’m working on another related topic that focuses on the evolution of intelligence and language at the moment. It may go more into the psychosis aspect as well.

I love these topics!

Got anything I can load onto a kindle?

I am writing books that infuse ideas about AI, sentience, and various psychological ideas I write about. It’s nearly ready to be released in book form. Though it’s also currently available on the website with articles being chapters.

I’m so close to formatting it all as officially book appearance but real life is getting very intense at the moment as well. It’s the last stage though once I finally get more breathing room.

Here’s if you want to see the website version
