Four years chasing a consistent eBee — and what I built when I finally caught one
Four years of AI image generation, three platforms, one stubborn cartoon bee, and the declarative pipeline I built to stop the drift.
We're at Risk of Losing Human Dignity to Machine Productivity
The AI debate is forcing us to define intelligence. Every definition proposed, when applied consistently, ends up drawing a line through humanity itself.
