  • Privacy as Insurance Against AI

    Three pressures. One underlying force. Attention comes first. Belief follows. Then capital moves.

    ai

  • Close the Session

    Terminal sprawl, context switching, and persistent workloads. A skill that closes the session so the next one picks up cleanly.

  • Knowledge Doesn't Equal Action

    We knew what the atomic bomb could do before 1945. It didn't become actionable until entire populations were wiped out.

  • Signal Surfacing Needs a Lever

    Before bringing any external signal to someone's attention, answer which lever it pulls. If none, don't surface. Filter is upstream, not downstream.

  • Three Groups

    The question isn't whether to use AI. It's which group you're in.

  • Expo Bootstrap

    Whole categories of "I'd never build that, too much setup" just stopped being true.

  • Representation Collapse and the Attention Feed

    The machine's failure and yours are the same failure. The only difference is yours arrived through a feed.

  • Truth is First-Person

    If AI-written framing gets laundered into your permanent record, the archive stops being a reliable record of who you are.

    principlesai

  • Sovereignty Primitive

    Your corpus is what differentiates you. The model commoditizes. The same LLM in front of two people gives the same answers, because it has the same nothing to work from.

  • Remove the Ceiling

    The single biggest thing you can do to unlock what AI actually offers right now is to remove yourself from the constraint of the pricing model.

    ai

  • You Gave It

    They didn't take your soul. You were just leasing it out for too cheap. Raise the rent.

    agency

  • I Refuse to Believe There's Nothing I Can Do

    The system is calibrated to take just enough of your energy to keep you showing up tomorrow. Not happy. Not miserable. Just enough.

    agency

  • Presence Over Absence

    What does someone do when they love something and the only option within their capability is nothing?

    personal

  • Why I Left — The Honest Answer

    Fear all the way up, dressed in better clothes. I pushed through every flavour of discomfort this job had to offer. The kind that signals growth, not the kind that wears you down.

  • The Loop That Improves the Loop

    Once the baseline loops exist, your attention stops going into doing the work. It goes into improving the system that does the work.

  • The Last Hug

    Nobody tells you when the last hug happens. There's no announcement. It just stops one day.

  • What Are Our Kids Going to Do When They Grow Up?

    Every stage of the funnel we followed now has a question mark over it.

  • The 90% Problem

    90% of engineer time is spent in meetings, not coding. That's not a performance issue. It's a structural failure.

  • The Information Gap

    What APAC leadership isn't seeing. Australia is 50% of the business and a footnote on the agenda.
