Notes on how AI is transforming our world — the way we work, build, and live.
Writing
- Compared to What? The risks of AI are real. So are the risks of an aging society without it. Why care, robotics, and productive capacity belong in the debate.
- A God That Answers Back The place you go for answers can quietly become the place you go for permission. AI does not need to become divine for us to learn to obey it.
- Judgment Is the Job Now AI made the making cheap. What’s left for us is deciding what to trust — and that runs on an old brain with known shortcuts. So I built a map of them.
- If AI Built It, It Cannot Be Good A rule a lot of people carry without saying it out loud. It was good statistics once — then the tools moved and the rule didn’t. Provenance stopped predicting quality.
- The War We Already Lost There was a war on intelligence, and we lost it. What’s left is not taste or judgment — it’s the years you carry a cost, and the looking back.
- How AI Actually Takes Over People imagine AI taking control by force. Inside companies it happens quietly: nobody hands over control — they hand over the first draft.
- I Keep Building the Games I Want to Play pixelagora.com is a hub for the strategy and world-building games I actually play — no install, no account, no ads. Just click and play.
- What’s Left to Defend? Nobody can build something nobody can copy — not anymore. What’s left is time: trust, relationships, habit. A head start, not a wall.
- Raise Less. Prove More. I back one kind of company: the kind that proves something real, then raises once. On two investor seats, held honestly, and money that keeps its power.
- I’m Building a City. Again. I started building a city simulation called Polis. A note on nostalgia, systems thinking, and what SimCity quietly taught me about business.
- More Builders. Fewer Commentators. AI removed the excuse not to build. The real shift: from opinion to evidence, from commentary to creation.
- Death Is Optional We die twice — once when the body stops, and again the last time someone says our name. AI may turn the second death into a choice.
- More AI. More People. Less Output. AI can make individuals faster while making the organisation slower. Why more tools and more people can mean less output — and what to redesign instead.
- Local LLMs Will Not Replace Private Models Local LLMs are improving fast, but the gap with the best private models is structural, not temporary. The default will stay public.
- A paradigm shift in how software is built One multidisciplinary person can now build products alone, at a fraction of the time and cost. A note on a tectonic shift.
- The Gap Between Mind and Page AI did not give me better ideas. It helped me keep and shape the ones I already had.
