Tax therapist 🧮 | AI & Policy 🚀 | Working on legal frameworks for humanoids 🤖 Bridging tax, tech, and the future 🧠
Cape Town, South Africa
Joined August 2015
I’m currently working on a white paper that argues for the creation of a third legal category: the Synthetic Agent. Current laws only recognise persons or property; but as humanoids and autonomous AI enter our homes, this binary will break.

Everyone else: behold, an AI you can beat off to Google DeepMind: protein folding, weather prediction, new materials, and now an ai that can make its own cancer discoveries

To the degree that people are seeing improvements in their feed, it is not due to the actions of specific individuals changing heuristics, but rather increasing use of Grok and other AI tools. We will post the updated algorithm, including model weights, later this week. You
The improvement in the X feed over the past year is incredible X team has finally got to to the bottom and wiped spam & engagement bait now or extremely rare Can’t even recall the last time a low-quality post showed up Huge credit to the X team.... these changes are truly

I wonder what the “Still a toaster” crowd will say about this.
I would share this with anyone who still claims that AI (including LLMs) cannot make scientific discoveries. Soon, I will also reveal something really cool & important related to medicine.☺️ I repeat my advice: Don’t say “AI can never do this or that,” and don’t bet against AI!

Elon just confirmed what I’ve been saying all along 👇 The future isn’t “smart toasters” sitting in data centers. It’s embodied humanoids with personality, voice, and knowledge; living among us. And people say we shouldn't anthropomorphiz AI... But It’s human nature to do so.
ELON: PEOPLE WILL GET ATTACHED TO THEIR OPTIMUS ROBOT “I think people will start to regard their personal Optimus robot as sort of a friend. In Star Wars, you sort of like R2-D2 and C-3PO. You got quite attached to those characters.” Source: Interview at Cannes Lions, June

This isn’t sci-fi anymore. From Detroit: Become Human to real-world robot prototypes and AI companions, the moral dilemmas are already here, and the legal vacuum is no longer a Roomba.

My proposal focuses on 3 pillars: 1️⃣ Soft personhood (like animal rights) 2️⃣ Separate legal liability (like corporations) 3️⃣ Attribution based on autonomy (like self-driving vehicle levels)

Play Detroit: Become Human and try to get the “good” ending.
I'm exhausted of the "Terminator, Black Mirror, AI" will be our doom movies... Hollywood should hop off the crisis news network wagon and give humanity a more positive, abundant future we can all strive to create.

Tacit knowledge, lived experience, embodied knowledge and practical wisdom is something AI will never have, just like humans will never have the knowledge of a tree. I call it: the "Good Will Hunting" problem.

Frankl showed that in Nazi camps, survival depended not on strength or intelligence but on the ability to find meaning — through work, love, suffering, and beauty. The same may be true in a world where AGI dissolves “striving” as our core identity.
Will you thrive or die with AGI? Take this test. AI is advancing fast. Faster than any technology shift in history. Electricity took 46 years to reach mass adoption. The smartphone, 16. ChatGPT reached 100 million in two months. Studies show that humans handle incremental
