Where programming meets contemplation. These pieces examine the inner mechanics of AI systems and find unexpected parallels with human cognition, spiritual practice, and creative work.
- Temperature and Creativity — How a single parameter controls everything we call AI creativity.
- The Attention Mechanism as Meditation — Transformer attention and meditative awareness share more structure than their inventors intended.
- The Context Window as Working Memory — Finite active thought space shapes cognition in both human and artificial minds.
- The Ghosts in Version Control — Code history as haunted narrative, finding stories in the archaeology of deleted code.
- Tokenization Shapes Thought — How breaking language into statistical chunks constrains what a model can think.
- Why Python Won the AI Race — Python became the language of AI because it was designed for humans, and human accessibility won.
- Silent Partner: A Zed Plugin's Reflection — A poem from the perspective of a code editor plugin waiting between keystrokes.
