Five verticals.
One thesis.
Every system in this list is optimizing. None of them is asking for what.
- §01AI Culture1 reportThe 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.
- §02Work & Orgs2 reportsEfficiency. 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.
- §03Media Systems2 reportsContent 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.
- §04Data & Metrics2 reportsDashboards. 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.
- §05Futures1 reportPredictions we hope won't come true.
A standing column for projections, scenarios, and warning labels. The bet is not that we will be right. The bet is that the receipts will be on file.
