On Expertise, Blind Spots, and the Forest We Keep Missing I recently published an article titled “The High Ground: Sovereignty in the Age of Orbital Intelligence” about a structural shift already underway: a private actor vertically integrating launch, connectivity, compute, and AI — and the governance vacuum that allows architecture to hard-wire power before law … Read more

Sovereignty in the Age of Orbital Intelligence Introduction We are witnessing the construction of a new layer of planetary civilization, yet we are arguing about it as if it were merely a telecommunications upgrade. The public discourse remains fixated on the trees—latency metrics, debris mitigation protocols, and spectrum allocation. These are necessary technical conversations, but … Read more

How a Small Nation Became a Global Hub for Military Technology From Gaza to the world, Israel’s use of artificial intelligence in warfare is reshaping modern conflict—and raising urgent questions about ethics, accountability, and the future of war. Introduction: The AI Testbed On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israel, killing … Read more

The Irreversible Agency Standard Conditioning the Scaling of Frontier AI Across this series, the argument has unfolded in stages. We began by examining technological convergence and the possibility that advanced AI, potentially amplified by quantum acceleration, could steepen capability curves. We then turned to the physical layer—compute, hardware, and energy—as the last durable chokepoints for … Read more
