About

I build AI systems for a living. I have spent years helping companies integrate intelligent automation into products their customers depend on. Somewhere along the way, I started noticing that the questions I found most interesting were the ones the industry seemed least interested in sitting with: what happens to human meaning, work, and economic life as AI takes over more of what people do?

These essays exist because I need to understand what is happening. Not the technology itself, which I work with daily, but what it means for the people around it. I write to gain my own clarity: to force vague intuitions into arguments that either hold up or fall apart on the page.

I also have kids. That changes the math. These are not abstract questions when you are trying to figure out what kind of world your children are growing into, what skills will matter for them, and whether the assumptions you inherited about work, purpose, and a good life still hold. I want them to walk into this transition more prepared than most, with their eyes open.

I lead teams building these systems. The people I work with need a shared understanding of what we are doing and why it matters beyond the technical deliverable. And the partners and clients we work alongside need a common language for the human and economic implications of what we are building together. These essays are part of how I try to build that understanding.

Nothing here is final. I am working things out on paper, trying to be honest about what I see from the inside of this transition, and open about what I do not know.

The name comes from the asymptote: the line a curve approaches but never touches. Technology converges on the answers to many questions, spectacularly so. But the questions that matter most about human life do not yield to optimization. They are the permanent remainder.
