I built this site with AI assistance, and I use AI tools extensively in my thinking. Many of the ideas explored here were developed in conversation with Claude and similar tools, which I find genuinely useful for testing arguments, surfacing connections, and exploring my reasoning.
The essays, however, are mine. Every word. I don't outsource the writing, because the writing is where the thinking actually happens. It's where vague intuitions get forced into honest sentences, and where I find out whether I really believe what I thought I believed.
The instruments are different. The ideas behind them are mine, but the technical documentation describing them is generated directly with AI. Specs, configurations, and reference material are vehicles for conveying information that exists independently of me. Clarity and accuracy are what matter there, not voice, so I'm happy to let AI help shape the prose. AI also generates the audio narrations found on various pages of this site.
This site wouldn't exist without AI, just as it wouldn't exist without me. Without AI, I wouldn't have the time to research, design, build, and maintain it. But because of AI, not only do I have the time, it's an utter pleasure doing so. And for that, I'm grateful to live in this wonderful modern world.
