In the digital world, every groundbreaking piece of technology is perched atop something that already exists.

And right now, AI is stacked above them all, over a wobbly foundation that can hardly withstand the added weight.
These patterns are suggestive of something quite simple–the issue is never really with the technology that is introduced; it is with the complexity that lies deep within.
