Hi, I'm Wensupu “Wen” Yang
Through KWiM, I'm building Museum Whisper, an AI-personalized audio guide for museums and galleries. I also help clients prototype AI products and use foresight to navigate technological change.
I build AI products that make knowledge feel more personal and situated, starting with Museum Whisper: an adaptive audio guide for museums and galleries.
I help teams turn emerging technology into usable prototypes, sharper strategy, and better questions about the futures they are building toward.
I write and collect ideas across AI, futures, cognition, culture, and learning as a way to make sense of fast-moving change in public.

Great post, I agree that using weasel words to dodge responsibility is problematic; but I’m also concerned that trying to use a 0–100% "probabilistic yardstick" for standardization introduces new problems. It creates the illusion of a neat, "fair-dice" world, whereas in reality, judgments or estimates of the unknowable can't meaningfully be assigned percentages—even within an interval.So perhaps the use of ambiguous words, viewed from a more charitable lens, might actually be a feature that allows for reinterpretation?I'd be interested to hear what you think.P.S. This post is largely inspired by Taleb’s The Ludic Fallacy.
