The AI Metacrisis: Are Large Models Worsening Global Instability?
![The accelerating concentration of capital within a handful of technology firms-a modern iteration of feudalism dubbed “technofeudalism”-is not merely an economic shift, but a systemic crisis [latex] \text{the metacrisis} [/latex] fueled by the disproportionate returns to scale inherent in digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.24863v1/metacrisis.png)
A new analysis argues that the rapid advancement of large AI models is exacerbating interconnected environmental, social, and linguistic crises, demanding a fundamental rethinking of natural language processing.
![A consistent threshold of [latex]\theta=0.06[/latex] applied to both a forward-oriented causal observable [latex]\mathscr{F}(t)[/latex] and the raw composite signal [latex]\mathscr{F}_{0}(t)[/latex] demonstrates comparable performance-as measured by cumulative returns relative to buy-and-hold-and yields a similar frequency of state changes (trades) when applied to one-minute EURUSDT data.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.24621v1/x3.png)

![Resilience against attack vectors isn’t a static property, but emerges from a dynamic interplay between vulnerabilities, network state [latex]X_{t}[/latex], and three classes of defense-proactive hardening, responsive adaptation, and retrospective learning from performance outcomes [latex]Y_{t}[/latex]-that continuously refine the system’s ability to withstand compromise.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.22721v1/Figures/resilienceMechanism.png)
