Explorations of AI, LLMs, and how intelligent systems reshape culture and craft. Practical where useful, philosophical when necessary.
Training your replacement looks like suicide until you realize it's the forcing function that prevents decay. Rick's layoff story and the paradox of voluntary obsolescence.
Your government thinks GenZ protests are chaos. They are actually the most sophisticated distributed coordination in history - and Morocco's gaming generation holds the blueprint for 21st century governance.
I got called AI slop by Hacker News for using technological leverage. Twenty years ago, a teacher accused me of plagiarizing Wikipedia for typing an essay. Same pattern, different tools. Time to state my position on AI use publicly.
Laptops create. Phones consume. The split determines who commands and who complies—a power dynamic hiding in plain sight across every interface we touch.
Axiom emerges from stealth to build self-improving AI mathematicians. Why this launch marks an inflection point for formal reasoning, and how math becomes the universal bridge between physical and digital reality.
Anthropic's Imagine with Claude generated a desktop environment about occultist Manly P. Hall. What emerged wasn't just an interface—it was a living organism that snooped my curiosity, anticipated my questions, and made the computer disappear. Also: why I'm building an open-source version outside proprietary walls.
I tweeted about an anti-Adobe coalition forming around Figma back in 2023. Now with DHH's Omarchy OS, Framework laptops, and my own Adobe cancellation, the underground is surfacing.
Every layer of abstraction we build is another layer AI will eat. The only durable skills are the ones closest to bedrock — and bedrock keeps sinking deeper. A law for navigating the great skill compression of our time.
A meta-reply to an X ping that became a meditation on how information becomes wisdom—and whether AI can truly "experience" anything. Featuring ritual tech, recursive replies, and why communities must optimize for experience density.
A raw DM from a software engineering student sparked deeper questions about language, authenticity, and chasing "interesting" work in an AI-mediated world.
People screenshot my posts instead of liking them. They reference ideas weeks later that never got a single public comment. This personal observation opens into something bigger: how engagement retreats into darkness while machines feast on the open web.
Three major design appointments in 48 hours reveal a deeper shift happening in tech power structures. From Meta licensing Midjourney's aesthetic tech to Figma landing another Meta executive, we are witnessing the elevation of design from craft to strategic infrastructure.
