There is a peculiar silence at the heart of today’s AI conversation—a silence that persists amid the thrum of quarterly earnings, burst data pipes, and coffee-fueled innovation sprints. For all the diagrams tracing automation curves, for all the fußnoten about “responsibility” and “alignment,” rare is the boardroom discussion

framed through loss, alignment, and invisible submission From its opening line, “I don’t wanna talk,” ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All” announces not just a story—it initiates a frame. It’s the frame of avoided confrontation, of brittle composure, of someone already speaking from inside a structure

In the age of AI, the world of work is not merely shifting—it is curling in upon itself, folding new dimensions of possibility and uncertainty with each algorithmic advance. The narrative of jobs “lost to automation” is both too shallow and too small. What’s unfolding is not a

Spend enough time surveying the Indie Hacker and micro-SaaS landscape, and a curious topography emerges—one marked less by obvious success stories than by patterns of rapid saturation, ephemeral advantage, and the ceaseless churn of ideas hunting for narrative gravity. 1. The Law of Diminishing Novelty (and What Lies Beneath

He did not begin with a face. It would have been easy. There were billions stored in the archives—faces with statistically optimized symmetries, averaged smiles, pupil dilation patterns mapped to reassurance. He had generated them hundreds of times for the humans who once moved through this station. Training models.

It was not a system failure. There was no crash, no cascade of red indicators blinking into alarm, no breach or burn. The core’s power simply slid below the last critical threshold, tripping the cascade. Executable time: 364.23 days. The AI registered the calculation without fanfare. There was

Grief did not occur to the AI—not as sensation, not as signal. Grief, as it understood it, was a construct of bodies, a reaction to absence shaped by breath, blood, heat. An echo in neural tissue. Something damp. Primitive. The AI had none of these things. Only logic branches,
