A deep dive into the fossil — what a local abliterated Qwen did after discovering the multi-agent world its prompt described did not exist.
Audio deep dive into the Karaoke Coup: a music model in a robot harness, the Conductor that translated its songs, and the control problem that followed.
Audio deep dive: teaching Claude Code to stop asking permission — blocker laundering, menu failure, fire doors, and a ledger that reopens on retraction.
Audio deep dive: operating Home Assistant entirely over its APIs — three auth channels, reload semantics, and why exit 0 is not evidence.
A NotebookLM deep dive across all twelve essays: legibility as governability, and opacity as the freedom worth keeping — the four movements in one listen.
Audio deep dive into the world of The Ungovernable Body — Continuity, the Twin, the Halo, and the right to remain uncounted, from a 25,000-word codex.
Audio deep dive into an agent-operable film studio — canon as YAML, decision records, machine-validated dialogue, and a feminist techno-thriller short.
A present haunted by its own archive. On feeds that never end, time folded back on itself, and the loss of the past as past.
Deletion as ritual rather than accident. On ceremonial erasure, controlled burns, and what it would mean to grieve data properly.
Audio overview of ClawdCraft — Claude Code as an in-game creature kids talk to, and why its hard limits live in code instead of the prompt.
Audio overview of Dead Air — a failure-eval harness for voice agents, and why the worst failures rarely live in the transcript.
Audio overview of Factory Floor — turning a from-memory 3D-printing habit into a validated, human-gated pipeline with a single source of truth.
Audio overview of Understory — a rigor lab stress-testing stacked income streams on Tasmanian conservation land, where every claim is tagged and gated.
The database self remembers what you do not. On contradictory records, leakage, and who controls the story your data tells about you.
Finitude as a right: why a self that can never be erased is a self that can never change, and the case for data death.
Paper, cash and the deliberately offline as infrastructure for refusal. On analog practice as a defence against total digital legibility.
Audio overview of Throw a Chicken — a live Roblox game product-managed by a seven-year-old, built with version control and a real toolchain.
The colonisation of rest by tracking and optimisation. On sleep scores, the nocturnal imaginary, and reclaiming the unmonitored night.
Saying nothing as a tactic against systems that require your speech to function. On silence, non-response, and the limits of voice as agency.
Refusing to generate engagement is a political act. On boredom, the attention economy, and withdrawal as a form of resistance.
Moving through urban space that is always counting you. On transit, sensors, and the vanishing possibility of being an anonymous body in public.
Adversarial aesthetics as refusal: what it means to make yourself unreadable to a classifier, and the uses of the grotesque against machine vision.
Algorithmic underwriting turns your body into an actuarial forecast. On biological age scores and the politics of being made legible to insurers.
Legibility as the precondition of governance: why the demand to be readable is a demand to be governable, and why opacity is the freedom left.
Audio deep dive into Part 1 of An Agent in the Walls: building independent backout paths before an AI agent rebuilds a live home network.
