The Singularity Log

Rabies Capitalism

On AI, Labor, and the End of the Moat

The Photograph of a River

Every AI productivity study is a photograph of a river. By the time you develop the film, the water has moved.

The Preciousness Problem

Where did our obsession with singular, precious authorship come from? The lone genius myth is an economic invention.

Campfire Logic

If preciousness is market logic, what does a non-market logic of art actually look like? Pass it around. Let it change shape.

The Hidden Tax on Senior Engineers

AI didn't reduce the demand on your best engineers. It redirected it. 6.5% more code reviewed. 19% less original work.

After Scarcity

The market model is dying. Not because anyone attacked it. Because the tools changed. What replaces scarcity?

Refusal Is Not Resistance

Why I use AI when the people coming for me already do. A blind trans woman's case against confusing refusal with resistance.

The Ache in your Heart

I like staying in the moment. There's something about the present that feels permanent, untouchable. That if I have food in my belly and music in my life, I can be happy.

The Years of Craft Do Not Get a Vote

For a long time, the story I told myself about work was simple. Get better. Learn more. Become more useful. Refine your taste. Refine your craft. Build skills nobody can take away. I still believe in craft. I still believe in skill. But I do not think that story is enough anymore.

Who Are You When Nobody Is Approving?

I spent the past three years in blissful maker mode, learning everything I could about AI tools. Not because someone told me to. Not because my job required it. Because I *love* learning new things. I love that feeling of being just competent enough to glimpse the edge of a new world. The firehose still feels like a gift. I got roasted for it. It hurt more than I wanted to admit.

The Tollbooth Is Gone: Rebuilding My Publishing Pipeline with AI Agents

The administrative layer between finishing a piece and publishing it was enough to stop the whole machine. Here's how I rebuilt it as an agent-driven pipeline.

Death of the Creative Wall

My first 1000-view video on YouTube was a chicken-fried possum lawyer from Toontown Chicago, a thing that would have lived entirely inside my skull five years ago. On cheap iteration, the wall it knocks down, and why slop is just practice with the lights on.

The Slow Blade

I'm 92,000 words into a novel nobody's read and three months into leading AI transformation at a 200-person org. Both look bad from the outside, which is how I know they're the same work. On long-arc discipline, the Dune shield, and why patience beats velocity.

The Bad Place

We're not getting an Act-3 rescue. The system wants us hopeless, alone, and dissociated. Here's how to live and love while the long fire burns.

Claude Design and the Novel T

If you give me agents, a CMS, a publishing pipeline, and one free evening, I will eventually try to write my own word processor. On Novel T, scene-aware drafting, and what an agent-native writing tool actually looks like.

How to Run a Successful Moral Panic

I've been the target of enough moral panics to write the field guide. Here's how to run one successfully — and a warning that you'll be worse off if you do.

When Labor Gets Weird

Something enormous is happening to work, and it arrives in clerical bites — boring enough to dismiss, big enough to reshape a life. A disabled knowledge worker on AI, four quadrants of adoption, and the fear of being early to the wrong skills.
