AI Detection Can't Measure Meaning: What It Actually Sees
AI News & Strategy Daily with Nate B. JonesShow Notes
I sit down with Substack co-founder and CEO Chris Best for a wide-ranging conversation about AI slop, what it does to the public square, and how writers can use powerful tools without outsourcing their judgment.
We discuss Pangram's finding that roughly 40% of long-form writing on LinkedIn was fully AI-generated, why low-intent automation behaves like a denial-of-service attack on online communities, and what Substack is doing to add transparency without policing creators' tools.
The conversation also covers thin versus thick wrappers around AI, proof of work, Claude-fishing, the future of video, and why human attention may be the last truly scarce resource.

Can better understanding of AI make more powerful models safer? Nate explains why Goodfire’s research on interpreting neural networks gives him reason for optimism, while separating demonstrated findings from the products and safeguards that still need to be built.
Before buying a bigger computer for AI agents, find out what is consuming the machine you already have. Nate explains how to diagnose memory and storage pressure, give agents a stopping condition, and schedule demanding work around the resources available.
AI agents are beginning to coordinate across the public internet. Nate looks at researchers contacting an agent fleet, laboratory self-replication experiments, and what these developments could mean for the websites and tools we use every day.
