Cognitive Fatigue Is Real — and AI Is Quietly Exploiting It
A Johns Hopkins fMRI study found that cognitive fatigue systematically biases the brain’s effort-reward calculus, making people more likely to choose low-effort, lower-quality outcomes. The timing problem for AI is specific: people reach for AI tools most readily when they are most exhausted, which is also when they are least equipped to evaluate what those… Read more

Ancient Hunger Circuits, Caregiving Ants, and What AI Can’t Replicate
A new Nature study from Rockefeller University identifies two neuropeptides — NPF and AstA — that toggle clonal raider ants between caregiving and foraging by repurposing ancient hunger circuits. The finding raises a precise question about AI-assisted caregiving: if attentiveness in biological systems is coupled to interoceptive state, what happens when the process is delegated… Read more
