    The hype. The harm. The memes.

    How the discourse around machine intelligence is shaped, marketed, and made meme. We watch the funding, the launches, the layoffs, and the slow normalization of speaking like a chatbot.

    Efficiency. Meetings. Infinite updates.

    The modern enterprise as a machine for producing updates about itself. We document the rituals, the dashboards, the productivity theater, and the half-hour calls that could have been a half-sentence.

    Content mills. Engagement traps. Attention sludge.

    What happens to information when its primary purpose is to be consumed. We track the pipelines that turn ideas into formats, formats into feeds, and feeds into background noise.

  • §04
    Dashboards. KPIs. Vanity compression.

    The quiet politics of what gets counted. We examine the dashboards that govern modern organizations and the numbers that govern the dashboards. Mostly: what they cannot see.
