Ghost in the Machine Not AI | Ghost in the Machine - A Documentary by Valerie Veatch | Premiering at Sundance 2026

Ghost in the Machine is excellent.

I used AI. It worked. I hated it. I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

"The fight cannot be among laborers who are all threatened by this technology. The fight must be between the workers who wish to work, create, live, and prosper, and the elites who only seek to enrich themselves by means of this technology."

I turned my website into a digital garden (of sorts) so I could change my thoughts as necessary. I'm also a fairly ruthless deleter and often end up removing things which don't fit my current way of thinking.

Just phenomenal.

I love how relatable your posts are, Ana! Thanks for writing and sharing.

Switched my active domains over to Mythic Beasts and I couldn't be happier.

The prototype slop zone by Frank Elavsky. Diagram. There are two axes. X axis is how technically refined an artifact is, starting low and increasing. Y axis is how intellectually refined an idea is, starting low and increasing. In the upper left (high idea refinement, low artifact refinement), an annotation says, 💡 what users want gnAI for (for their brilliant ideas), an arrow points to an area labeled (zone of missing skills). The in the bottom right an annotation says what genAI enables 🫠. Low fidelity prototypes fill the left side near the bottom (low technical refinement and ideation), mid-fidelity in the middle of the diagram, and high fidelity fills the upper right (high ideation, high technical refinement). A tiny slice in the top right corner (maxed on both axes) says no longer a prototype.

Also, here is a nifty diagram I put together for folks who seem to misunderstand what genAI actually helps with:

(Note: if you assume your ideas are already good, then all you need is a machine that perfectly follows your instructions! But... isn't the point of prototyping to refine your ideas?)

I was out in it briefly and it didn't feel as wet as sleet, nor hurt as much as hail.

What's My JND? Find your Just Noticeable Difference in colour perception. How small a colour difference can you actually see?

Apparently my monitor is pretty good. Or is it my eyes?

Seconding this workflow; I find the two to be an excellent way to store thoughts about articles, etc.

I'm considering getting a new keyboard purely because mine doesn't have an 'End' key.

Congratulations, this looks great!

Myles is running the Cardiff Half Marathon for Mind Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need. This has to change. We’re Mind. We’re here to fight mental health. For support for respect, for you. We ch

It's my birthday!

I'd love it if you sponsored me to run the Cardiff Half Marathon later this year. All proceeds go to @mind.org.uk mental health charity.
