Notes from the way to abundant intelligence.

One person’s AI workshop. Mostly essays, about what changes in a world where intelligence stops being scarce and what it is like to live through the in-between. Now and then, a small thing made with AI to see what happens.

  4. Orphaned Curiosities

    The feed sorted me into a consumer profile I didn't recognise. The systems that answer back assemble something that does feel like me — and I will never again be the first to connect those pieces.

About

Project Nothing is one person’s AI workshop. Mostly essays, about what changes in a world where intelligence stops being scarce and what it is like to live through the in-between. Now and then, a small thing made with AI to see what happens — each one gets a page, a picture, and a note when it ends. The whole thing is made by one person with a lot of help from machines; how says which, and support says what would help.
