Editorial
AI is remarkable. The thing that built it is even more remarkable.
Before there were models, there was a model. Human intelligence invented language, then mathematics, then civilization. It painted caves, then ceilings. It wrote symphonies, split atoms, launched rockets, built computers — and, eventually, taught those computers to think.
$BRAIN is a celebration of the machine behind the machines. It is not anti-AI. It is pro-curiosity, pro-creativity, and deeply impressed by the three pounds of tissue that made all of it possible.
