Philosophy of AI
No, AI is not a rival mind. It is an extension of ours
Drawing on Husserl's phenomenology, researchers argue that AI systems are best understood as extensions of natural intelligence, not as autonomous minds. This perspective explains hallucinations and compositional failures while shifting safety debates from rogue AI fears to responsible engineering and governance.

MiniMax M3 outruns GPT-5.5 on real code, and it's open-weight
MiniMax M3 is the first Chinese open-source model to combine native multimodality, 1M-token context, and advanced agentic coding. Its structured approach to scale, including a new attention architecture called MSA, challenges the assumption that open models must trail behind proprietary systems.
