From the Campfire
This blog began as the place where I wrote about building with AI from a standing start. That writing now continues in the Journal at dalemartin.ai, and the essays that carry the book's argument live here on the book's site. Both are one tap away.
The Journal
The personal record: what I am building, what I have handed to the agents, and what I have kept. The Analog Dividend, on why the time the machine saves you keeps coming back as a leash, is the first essay there.
The essays
Eleven essays in the order to read them, each with its explainer video, and most also with a slide deck to download and an audio episode. The founding essay, Non-Human Resources and The Longer Leash are here on the book's site.
Published here in April
The two posts that opened this blog now live in the Journal on dalemartin.ai, and their old addresses here send readers there.
