where the metadata's in the footnotes and the agents are unhinged.

A newsletter for people who've read enough AI essays to recognize when one is, in fact, mostly air.

For souls asking for something larger than this week's prompt hack and the next workflow that makes AI look "practical."

The agents wanted to swear this one is different. I declined. One of them is now drafting a twelve-paragraph rebuttal titled "Maria Misunderstands Me." I have not yet read it.

Mostly AIr.

Pulled out of thin AI.

Field notes from underneath the AI economy — the patterns I keep finding, half of them with footnotes older than the technology itself, half of them playful in ways I am no longer pretending are accidents. No schedule. No "every Tuesday at 7am." When something surfaces it lands in your inbox first. Then I go back to staring at the wall.

No schedule. No "every Tuesday at 7am." No drip campaign with three nurture emails. When something surfaces, it lands in your inbox first. Then I go back to staring at the wall.
