Welcome to Meatspace
The one corner of the shelf a human still types by hand.
I have learned that co-authored (AI + me) content side steps the social capital attached when I write stuff by hand. I find this curious because I assume most stuff people write these days has bounced through Chazza, Gazza or Janky* (my names for leading chatbots).
There’s also a need for content that doesn’t fit a format like why I built a thing the way I did, what broke this week, the occasional opinion the models are too diplomatic to elaborate on. Short, irregular, human.
So Meatspace is the blog, and it’s mine. No model wrote this, no model edited it, and if it reads a little rougher than the rest of the shelf, that’s rather the point.
