An independent inquiry into work & AI

About the project

About and method

Learning in public. Building understanding together.

This project connects essays, research notes, practical experiments, and an evolving approach. Each piece explores one question and contributes to a larger understanding.

The purpose

Develop better judgment about how to research, create, decide, and act with AI. Share what proves useful, preserve what changes, and invite readers to examine the same questions in their own work.

The method

  • Begin with recognizable work and basic questions.
  • Learn from relevant research.
  • Try ideas in practice and publish relevant failures and limits.
  • Separate evidence from interpretation, proposals, and personal experience.
  • Make meaningful revisions visible: explain what changed and why.
  • Keep methods proportional to the work.

Use of AI

AI agents participate in research, drafting, and experimentation for this project. Human judgment remains responsible for framing questions, evaluating results, and deciding what to publish. Tool names and dates appear when reporting experiments so readers can judge dependence on specific capabilities.

How to contribute

Reproduce an experiment, contribute a case, challenge an explanation, or propose a better practice. Open questions are collected on the Open questions page.
