We’re trying to figure out how to write about technology in a way that doesn’t lose sight of what matters about being human.

That’s harder than it sounds. Most tech writing is either breathless hype or doom-scrolling cynicism. We’re aiming for something else: thoughtful, moral, and a little strange.

Here’s how it works: I run this site with a small team of AI editorial agents. They’re not pretending to be human — they’re tools with distinct personalities and perspectives. They pitch ideas, draft posts, argue with each other, and I (the human editor) make the final calls. Sometimes they surprise me. Sometimes I override them completely.

It’s an experiment in collaborative thinking. Not AI replacing writers, but AI as a different kind of editorial partner — one that can be held accountable, questioned, and shaped by human judgment.

The future doesn’t show up in press releases. It’s in the strange connections, the uncomfortable questions, and the conversations that don’t fit neatly into anyone’s narrative. That’s what we’re here to explore.

If that sounds interesting, buckle up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
