Notes from the edge of something irreversible.
I write occasionally about AI, technology, and the systems we've built that now seem to run themselves. Not cheerleading, not catastrophising — just trying to think carefully about acceleration while it's happening. No newsletter, no schedule. Just essays, when there's something worth the words.
