Note from the Editor


By  Akashma News

September 12, 2025

Every time I set out to ask something simple — like how to add a search string for Akashma News — I find myself tumbling down a rabbit hole. What begins with a technical query ends up in the realm of Snowden, Pegasus, Palantir, and the digital fingerprints we unknowingly leave behind. My mind is restless, and I suspect yours is too.

Let me confess: I am amazed by this so-called “little toy” of artificial intelligence. For all my complaints about its lack of transparency, its gaslighting tendencies, and its role as a gatekeeper, I must also admit — these tools are handy. They can sift, retrieve, and stitch together data at a speed no human researcher could match. But they are not, and will never be, a replacement for human intelligence.

No algorithm can replicate emotional intelligence. No machine can offer spiritual solace. No bot can understand the warmth of human bonding, or the wisdom earned through lived experience. These belong solely to us. And in that, I rest easy: humanity cannot be defeated by its own creations.

Still, we must be vigilant. These systems are only as honest as the hands that build and deploy them. They must be trained, guarded, and kept in check. That responsibility falls to us — citizens, researchers, journalists, readers. And as long as there are millions of us willing to dissect their capabilities, challenge their authority, and use them to our advantage rather than surrender to them, we will not lose.

This is not paranoia. It is civic duty. And it is why Akashma News continues to dig where others skim, to question what others accept, and to remind you that truth is not found in symbols, but in relentless pursuit.

    Dear Akashma,

    I read your Sept. 1th commentry about AI and its affect on the ordnianry citizen. I believe your stressing “No algorithm can replicate emotional intelligence” to both astute and in a very human way, profound. Ultimatley,

    it is the human intellectual activity that is remembered throughout human

    history.

    Sincerely, Luis Lazaro Tijerina, Salina, Kansas
