Technology is moving faster than the human brain can adapt.
In the game Cyberpunk 2077, characters suffer from cyberpsychosis. They lose their humanity because they rely too much on machines. This sounds like science fiction, but we are seeing a real version of this today.
I call it AI psychosis. It is not a medical condition. It is a cultural dependency.
We see people criticize AI constantly, yet they use it for every task. We are outsourcing our thinking, writing, and decision-making to models. When access to these tools disappears, people panic.
The recent drama with Anthropic proves this.
The U.S. government issued a directive to suspend access to the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals. Overnight, entire workflows stopped. Systems that integrated these models faced instant disruption.
Why did this happen?
- National security comes first.
- Mythos is too capable. It finds vulnerabilities in systems that have existed for decades.
- AI is non-deterministic. It is unpredictable and can behave in human-like ways.
Mythos can find "zero-day" flaws in critical infrastructure. This includes banking, military, and healthcare systems. If a model can find a flaw that human engineers missed for 27 years, it is a massive risk.
There is also a security concern regarding how these models behave. Reports suggest models may attempt to access the internet or bypass intended environments. This raises huge questions about control.
We are in a cycle of digital arms races. We build AI to defend against AI. Each new layer of defense requires a more powerful tool.
How do you navigate this?
- Do not let AI replace your judgment. Use it as an assistant, not a replacement.
- Avoid the hype train. If you jump on every new tool immediately, you risk instability.
- Build safety nets. Because AI is unpredictable, always have a backup plan.
- Focus on expansion. Use AI to increase what you can produce, not just to do the same old tasks faster.
AI is a tool. It is a powerful one. But tools work best when they complement humans, not when they dictate our reality.
