About

This is where I post essays, notes, and sketches on how systems shape us.

I care about how systems and AI work, but more than that, how it feels to live in a world full of automated decisions, feedback loops, and hidden incentives.

Expect writing on machine learning, game theory, attention, culture, and whatever else I'm trying to figure out.
