Musings on the Future of the Internet
I've also always been drawn to the relationship between the self and world around us. We influence, and are influenced. It is critical that we are able to choose whose influence we allow in. Recently, I've very quickly realized that I'd rather live in the world envisioned by the Anna Wintours than the Elon Musks.
I’ve been increasingly interested in the role gender dynamics play in organizational and institutional strategy, especially in the fields of data and artificial intelligence. More than ever, we can see the way that male gender expectations are codified in law and institutional values. Dominance, expansion, and aggressive competition are celebrated in AI as evidenced by CEOs publicly sharing how…
Like a floor bed, Claude Code gives you access to more freedom than the traditional software development process might have enabled. I decided to try out Claude for myself. Or at least, I would - if I were able to get a functioning account set up.

I've started to notice that I feel pretty anxious when I'm not working. Truthfully, I think I've been this way for most of my life. From what my family tells me, I was a precocious child. Succeeding in highly structured, authority-driven contexts was presented to me as the only option.

Our digital lives are increasingly noisy, shaped by the gigabytes of information that we consume on a daily basis. The bits and bytes that make their way into our psychology via messages, articles, videos, shorts, and podcasts are algorithmically curated to latch into relevancy. Platforms that serve information to us use our attention to personalize recommendations and advertisements, leaving us…
As our realities trend toward the algorithmic, we’re no longer just technology users — we are participants in an evolving dialogue between human intent and machine capability. We can watch from the sidelines as a new paradigm in human-computer interaction evolves or we can build it. At the core, this is about changing how we engage with information, each other, and the world around us. AI is…
I hold a lot of value in the 'self' that I express through technology. Platforms like Facebook have an 'irrevocable use' clause in their terms of service that allows them to do what they'd like with your data in the name of 'improving their services', but you technically still own your data.
