Exploding Intelligence
22 researchers, including Hinton and Bengio, warn that AI building the next AI could outrun human oversight. We think the opportunity is bigger than the risk, and that engineering can make it manageable.
-
The Great Compute Bet
Concentration may be falling at the model level and rising further down the stack, where every AI application converges on the same chips, data centres and power. Theos Evgeniou on where the bottleneck actually sits, and what a board should stop asking for.
-
When Does the Human Cease to Be in Control?
Theos Evgeniou argues that a human in the loop can make a system more dangerous, not less. At Tremau the machine reviews everything first and the person handles only the exceptions. What decides the quadrant is not whether a human is present but whether anyone can still intervene.
-
What If AI Works?
Theos Evgeniou has worked on AI for thirty years. He is not worried about the machine that disproved a 1946 conjecture. He is worried about what happens when AI stops being digital and becomes a co-scientist.
-
Wine Fraud
Rudy Kurniawan blended fresh California Pinot into faded Burgundy and sold it for millions. A decade on, collectors pay him to do it again, and prefer the fake.
-
The Great Nickel Illusion
S$1.46 billion raised to buy nickel from a miner that had never produced an ounce, and sell it to a counterparty that had ceased trading. 947 investors, many of them lawyers and fund managers, checked none of it.
-
Greensill and the Art of Risk Creep
A boring, well-diversified lending business that wandered from Q1 to Q4 one decision at a time: a little more concentration, a jet, an invoice for a sale that had not happened, and one indispensable insurer.
-
Stuck in the Mud
The Ever Given was an engineering failure with engineering answers. The Strait of Hormuz is not, and no amount of dredging will help.
-
Situational Awareness is Not Normal
Ein KI-Fonds mit 45 Mrd. USD, vierfacher Hebel und ein Monat mit 67 Prozent Verlust, und warum Konzentration, Illiquidität und Hebel gemeinsam nie überleben.
-
Forests as the Fuel
Europas Feuersaison 2026 gegen jedes Jahr seit 1980, und was darüber entscheidet, ob ein Funke beherrschbar bleibt.
Die nächste Ausgabe nimmt ein anderes Risiko und einen anderen Quadranten.
