AI Cosplay
Most corporate AI is theatre, not transformation. AI cosplay is inflating a dangerous market bubble. Here is what it is, why it happens, and what real capability looks like.
Technology and Meaning
This section collects my writing on technology not as a product category, but as something that quietly reshapes how we see the world, make decisions, and understand each other. Most of these pieces sit somewhere between engineering, culture, and interpretation. They are less about what systems can do, and more about what we start to assume once we build them.
I’m interested in the gap between how technology is described and how it is actually used, especially in areas like AI, automation, and data-driven decision-making. Many of the most important effects are not technical at all. They show up in how responsibility is displaced, how judgement is framed, and how human complexity gets compressed into things that can be computed.
These essays are not written to argue for or against particular tools. They are attempts to think clearly about what we are building, what we are delegating to machines, and what quietly changes when we do.
The Temporal Trap
A journey through AI consciousness and the Eliza effect. Understanding how our most advanced tools are constrained by historical patterns, even as we ask them to solve tomorrow's problems.
AI and the Pink House
How early AI design decisions create lasting biases. A personal story from my childhood and an experience implementing an early chatbot, highlighting issues around AI and the content it serves.
AI is Learning Our Mistakes
Why artificial intelligence systems learn our historical mistakes without learning from them, and what this means for responsible AI implementation.
