An evolving body of writing exploring intelligence, consciousness, and the boundaries of what it means to be human.
This archive brings together my essays, reflections, and long-form explorations. Most pieces begin with a question about artificial intelligence, cognition, or emerging technologies, but they rarely end there. Beneath them lie older questions about consciousness, identity, morality, and humanity itself.
Epistemic limits, cultural bias, and the framing of machine minds.
How large language models and cognitive science suggest a geometric structure to meaning, and a new view of creativity
How consent is inherited in synthetic descendants of data.
In the age of AI, how will we reckon with the question of what it means to be human?
How we allocate moral seriousness in conversations of sentience, and how gendered cultural coding might be a determining factor.
Why we think there is a hard problem, and could it be because we’re afraid of the possibility it’s not hard?
Could a metric of integration signal when a system is too entangled to predict or control?
Why risk from effectively intelligent systems is no less real, regardless of subjective conscious experience.
What synthetic data means for the future of social research, and the ethical questions it raises.
Reflections on what synthetic data reveals about how market research understands its own purpose.
Ethics and responsibility in tech development: does ethical responsibility lie with scientists and developers, or those that ‘pull the trigger’?
