The column's rule is one only: never one voice, never two. Always three, and three that clash. No synthesis that reassures, no needle that stops to point north.
On one thing only do the three voices agree: that something big is happening. On all the rest, they turn their backs.
Voice I · December 2025
I am more worried than two years ago. Artificial intelligence has progressed faster than I thought.
Geoffrey Hinton · Nobel laureate in physics, "godfather" of neural networks
Points toward the alarm of those who built it: the danger is inside, and arrives sooner than expected.
Voice II · April 2026
They manipulate us with language and seem intelligent to us only for that. To bet hundreds of billions on LLMs reaching the human mind is a colossal piece of nonsense.
Yann LeCun · Turing Award, long-time chief AI scientist at Meta
Points toward the skepticism of those who say it is all show: not a danger, a costly delusion.
Voice III · September 2025
"Innovation" is a dog whistle: it means do not make laws. And training machines on copyrighted content has a name — it is theft. And theft is a crime.
Shoshana Zuboff · Harvard, author of "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism"
Points toward the accusation of those who watch power: neither danger nor delusion, but a plunder of rights.
Three needles, three different norths. If you are looking for the right voice to follow, this column disappoints you on purpose: the straight way was lost even before us.
The three voices synthesize the authors' known public positions — they are not verbatim transcripts.
