Chronicle of the transition

AI is becoming capable enough to change not only how we work, but how we think, choose, and understand our own value.
I am rebuilding my life around it, in public, to test a simple thesis: AI should make us more capable without making us passive. This chronicle is the evidence — the tools, experiments, failures, and decisions recorded from inside the transition.
Claude Made Me More Capable. It Didn't Make Me Braver.
A month building a public personal AI with Claude Code showed me the gap between publishing work and actively carrying it toward people.

Yupanqui: the one who tells
Today I bought a two-dollar domain and decided what I'll be called for the rest of my public life.
Shape of AI — the first original song
I wrote it, sang it, and mixed it — in an editor I built the same week. The voice trembles; that's the proof there's a human with something at stake.

TermCanvas — a canvas for steering agents
If you're going to steer a fleet of agents, you need a cockpit. I built TermCanvas: terminals on an infinite canvas, each agent in its own node, connected as a graph. It's the tool I write this chronicle from.
The Conversion Trap
Imagine this.
Canvas Agents: a studio where agents create with you
An infinite canvas where AI agents generate images and video (Gemini, Veo 3) next to your own edits, on the same surface. You sketch a direction, the agent fills it, you correct, it continues.

Watch: "I Failed 3 Times Building This With AI. In 2026, It Took Days."
I gave an AI my full psychology across 878 sessions. It predicts my behavior before I do.

The Symbiotic Experiment: What Happens When You Fully Integrate AI
Not your data. Your mind. Your goals, your fears, your patterns of self-sabotage, the lies you tell yourself. What happens when it remembers everything and you forget nothing?

We Made AI Play a 1950s Betrayal Game. Gemini Created Fake Banks to Steal From Its Allies.
In 1950, four game theorists—including Nobel laureate John Nash—designed a game with one brutal rule: betrayal is mathematically required to win.

The Living Ink
Elias sat alone in his white studio. Everything was white — the walls, the floor, even the blank canvas in front of him. He held his brush over a pot of black ink, but his hand wouldn't move. He had nothing to paint. No ideas. No inspiration. Nothing.
Every Prompt You Paste — the first parody
A parody of The Police's "Every Breath You Take", about the models watching everything we type into them. This was the first time I put music and the transition into the same artifact — before Party In The AI Lab, before any of it.

Living with Superintelligent Machines
We already have experience working with intelligent machines — they're similar to us but more specialized in certain domains. However, the leap to superintelligence brings new questions and challenges that we must carefully consider.
