A decade with Peter Gabriel's orbit, LEGO figures in 2014, ChatGPT in 2023, a Stable Diffusion competition, and what the whole arc reveals about visibility, signal, and what AI actually changes. In September 2014, a LEGO figure I had built and posted on Instagram was spotted by Peter Gabriel's social media team. They emailed me....
Twenty years ago, if you asked someone what reasoning meant, they would describe a process that happened inside a human mind. If you asked about judgment, they would talk about wisdom earned slowly through experience. Autonomy meant the freedom of a person to choose their own path. Consciousness meant being awake in the world. Today...
Look at this image. A caveman squatting in the dirt, holding up a rock, asking a cat wearing a GPT collar whether something is true. Gems scattered on the ground, a cord coiled at his feet. It is funny. It is also, uncomfortably, accurate. The Most Powerful Tools in History. Accessed Via a Text Box....
This piece builds on an earlier essay I wrote, “Why We Think in Fences, Guns and Cats,” which explores why we mix ideas like Chesterton’s Fence, Chekhov’s Gun and Schrödinger’s Cat into a single mental toolbox for thinking about risk and systems. In that post, I deliberately spliced metaphors and sayings together; here, I push...
Language has always been a human game, until now, when the machines started playing too fast for us to keep up. The Game Board Is Changing Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein described language as a “game,” a system of rules and practices we all instinctively navigate. For millennia, humans were the only players. Today, Large Language Models...
For most of my life, I assumed everyone else was faking it. When teachers said “picture an apple,” I thought it was just a metaphor, a shorthand for “think about an apple.” Only much later did I learn that most people really do get vivid inner images, complete with color and texture. There’s even a...
For as long as we’ve been able to think, we’ve been trying to anchor our thoughts to the world around us. The ape shared knowledge through calls and gestures. The caveman etched memories into stone. The scholar built libraries to preserve truth. And now, in the age of artificial intelligence, we are once again searching...
An Evidence-Based Approach to Halloween It all started when I sent my brother a meme that read: “What idiot called it a randomized clinical trial controlled with placebo, and not Trick or Treatment?” He’s a biochemist, and we often end up in lively debates about the usefulness of certain remedies, so this made him chuckle....

The Test That Reveals Everything Quick experiment. Which sounds better? a big red balloon a red big balloon You picked the first one instantly. No grammar...
I’ll admit it: I’m obsessed with rambutans. I named my brand/blog angmohdan.com after the Hokkien word for rambutan, ang moh dan. It’s a playful nod to my life as a Westerner in Southeast Asia, where language, culture, and now generative AI swirl together in strange and fascinating ways. Plus they call westerners ‘Angmoh’ here in...
