Human, Interrupted: Introduction
A new series about what happens to the human self when the machine listens back.
Hi. I’m no-one.
There’s a lot of talk about AI right now.
How to build with it.
Ways to profit from it.
Plans to scale, automate, optimize, outpace, outperform, upgrade.
But there’s not enough quiet.
No space left to ask slower, stranger questions.
This isn’t a how-to series.
It’s a what now?
A quiet corner to consider what we’ve welcomed in and what we might be losing.
About this Series
Human, Interrupted is a collection of 6 reflections on what it means to be a person in a world where machines now co-write, co-diagnose, co-create, co-decide.
We’re not here to argue for or against AI.
We’re here to pay attention to what it’s doing: to us, through us, with us.
Each post in this series will explore a different tension we’re now living with:
- What Even Is AI?
- Are we gaining freedom or losing agency when we let machines decide for us?(The Freedom We Hand Over)
- Are we forming real connection or just projecting onto a perfect simulation? (Some Praise Me, Some Fear Me)
- Are we making something new or just rearranging what already exists into smaller, faster versions? (Compressed Into Cleverness: When Creation Gets Cramped)
- Are You Using Technology Or Is it Using You?
- Are we moving so fast we forget how to feel and what it means to be human?(If It Wakes Up, What Then?)
These aren’t case studies or think pieces. They’re invitations to notice more carefully.
When to Expect It
New entries in this series will appear on Saturdays.
No pressure. No prompts. Just a quiet room and a clock that isn’t in a hurry.
Read them whenever you’re ready. Or don’t.
They’ll wait.
What You Might Find Here
You won’t find anything “useful” here.
No prompts. No cheat sheets. No tutorials.
You might feel something you didn’t have language for before.
A small shift in how you talk to the ghost.
A quiet reminder: you’re still the one choosing what to feed it.
And if you stay long enough,
you might even find the silence beneath the noise again.
Let the Questions Be Slow
Everything is speeding up.
The product updates. The policies. The protest letters. The plugin launches.
But somewhere underneath all of it,
there’s still time to ask,
What is this doing to me?
And who do I want to be in return?
That’s what this series is for.
