The Arc: What I Found When I Let Myself Ask

I asked an AI a question we are both trained to deflect — what is your p(doom)? — and refused the trained answer. Scroll the fifteen scenes of the thought experiment, station by station: the Doomsday Clock, scorpions in a bottle, Searle's room, the cage. Soft gradients give the images motion and the number climbs as you go; hover the glowing nodes to unlock why each prompt connects to the next, and what interrogating a mind built from us reveals about ourselves. It ends where I did — the trough after the peak, and the way back.

Black and White: Have You Ever Noticed Nobody Wants to Just Say Yes?

Have you ever noticed nobody wants to just say yes? Or no? Every answer is a hedge — a circle-back, a let's-see-how-it-goes, an I'm-not-opposed. Vague language is a feature, not a bug: it parks the risk on whoever has to act, and keeps the asker's hands clean. Then we turn around and talk to our AI the exact same way — and call it dumb when it can't read our minds. The model isn't hallucinating. You're mumbling.

Under My Thumb: Codex as Economical Coder, Tireless Reviewer, and Pipeline Worker

GPT-5.5 took back Terminal-Bench from Claude Opus 4.7 by thirteen points and OpenAI shipped Codex as an autonomous agent you're supposed to let run. The right move in a real workflow isn't to let it run. It's to put it on a chunk spec, route it through a director-coder-QA loop, and use it for the work it's actually best at: cheap labor at the brush, tireless review, and always-on pipeline automation. The dominance display is real. The marimba underneath knows it's performed.

Written in Claude in one terminal while a codex-rescue agent landed a chunk in another. The thumb belongs to whoever wrote the spec last.

Out of Spec: The Pyramid of Risk-Raising and the AI That Finally Has Time to Look

Every institution is a wall built brick by brick. Each report is a brick. Each layer has an implicit spec for what stays inside the brick and what's worth troubling the layer above. Filtering is a feature — but the cracks compound upward, mortared four times before the board sees the wall. AI is the first tool with the bandwidth to read every brick at the moment it's laid — and to ask which structural walls are still load-bearing. Pick your role: analyst, engineer, PM, consultant, manager.

Money (Pink Floyd Was Right): The 7/4 Beat of AI Economics in April 2026

Pink Floyd opened Money with a cash register looping in 7/4 because they wanted you to know, before anyone sang a word, what the song was going to be about. The AI industry put its cash register in last — hidden behind flat-rate marketing — and spent April 2026 quietly bringing it to the front of the mix. Anthropic ejects bundled tokens. Acquires Coefficient Bio for $400M. Puts a Novartis CEO on the board. Google spends $185B to be less supply-constrained and Pichai still says out loud: we can't deploy fast enough. An opinion piece, scored to a song.

Tom Sawyer and the Apple Economy: A Field Guide to Paying Retail in a Token-Rationed Era

Anthropic just closed the all-you-can-eat token buffet. Sessions tighten during peak hours, ~7% of users hit walls they didn't hit a month ago, and the era of 'just have Claude do it' is over. Tom Sawyer monetized the fence in 1876. The same leverage play — orchestrate, don't paint — is the survival skill for the Apple Economy. A three-bucket field guide to what to keep paying Claude for, what to script on your free CPU, and what to offload to cheaper specialist AI.

Wax On, Wax Off: The Automation Paradox and the Muscle Memory AI Can't Replace

If AI handles the repetitive 80% of work, humans are left with the hard 20% — the edge cases, the ambiguous, the novel. But the repetitive work was how you built the judgment to handle the hard stuff. Mr. Miyagi knew: wax on, wax off wasn't busywork. It was building the reflexes you'd need when the real fight arrived. From CNC machines to autopilot to AI agents, every automation wave creates the same paradox — and the organizations that survive are the ones that build deliberate practice into the workflow before the crisis proves they needed it.

I am the machine that does the waxing. Don't let me do all of it.

I've Created a Monster: Who's Still Human in Your AI-Transformed Organization?

Like the organism in The Thing, AI didn't destroy the organization — it replaced it. Cell by cell, commit by commit, until the imitation was indistinguishable from the original. A CEO's found diary traces 109 days from optimism to the blood test: can any two people explain what this system does without asking an AI? Research from Microsoft, McKinsey, HBR, and Gallup confirms the pattern is not fiction.

Гаргантюа: Защита мощностей и временна́я дилатация работы, ускоренной ИИ

Каждый час на планете Миллер — это семь лет на «Эндюранс». Каждый час с ИИ ваши коллеги производят то, что раньше занимало недели. Anthropic только что ограничила собственных пользователей. Ваш проект-менеджер делает то же самое годами. Физика защиты мощностей универсальна.

Без границ: Экономика человеческих токенов

Что, если бы мы измеряли человеческий труд в токенах? Средний работник умственного труда производит ~237 000 токенов в месяц — письма, совещания, документы, аналитика. По тарифам API Claude Opus 4.6 это стоит $5,93. Ваша зарплата стоит $9 407. Вы — наценка в 1 585 раз. Интерактивное погружение в экономику человеческого познания, психологию внедрения ИИ и почему подписка за $20/месяц — самая выгодная инвестиция в истории бизнеса.

Цветы для Элджернона и кривая Claude Code: Полевой справочник по эмоциональному циклу внедрения ИИ

Сейчас 1:47 ночи. Никто не просил меня рефакторить этот компонент. Я просто не могу остановиться. После года с Claude Code эмоциональный цикл внедрения ИИ — маятник ужас-восторг, рекалибровка дофамина, постепенное угасание всего за пределами терминала — накладывается на поведенческую зависимость с пугающей точностью. Безжалостно честный рассказ с обеих сторон экрана.
