Post 2 — How This Works (and Why)
What You’ll Find Here (and How It’s Collected)
A big part of this site is curation, but not the passive kind.
I read a lot about AI: articles, blog posts, research summaries, tool announcements, essays, threads that accidentally say something smart. Most of it is noise. Some of it is signal. A tiny fraction is worth sitting with.
This is where I collect that fraction — with commentary.
Every link posted here comes with context. At minimum, I’ll explain why I’m sharing it. Often, I’ll push further: what it gets right, what it misses, what it quietly assumes, and how it fits into the larger picture.
That larger picture matters.
A significant part of my interest in AI sits at the intersection of:
- political and economic power
- changing labor structures
- social order and governance
- ecological cost and material reality
Some of the most worrying developments around AI aren’t technical at all, they’re about who controls these systems, who pays for them (socially and environmentally), and who gets to decide how “inevitable” they really are. I’ll comment on that openly and at length.
Technically, the site runs on a small automation setup:
- articles are gathered and filtered via an n8n workflow
- AI helps with classification, summaries, and first-pass sorting
- the final call — what gets published, and why — is always human
Think of it as a semi-automated reading desk, not a content mill.
Alongside curated links, I’ll post:
- short commentaries
- longer essays
- small experiments and workflows
- occasional tutorials when something proves useful in practice
The goal isn’t speed. It’s context.
AI is reshaping creative work, infrastructure, politics, and the environment — often quietly, sometimes clumsily, occasionally with real ingenuity. This site exists to slow that down just enough to actually notice what’s happening.
If you’re curious, skeptical, pragmatic, or all three at once, you’re in the right place.
