Hi! I’m a writer with an academic background in digital rhetoric. I work as a content and conversational AI designer which blends my interests in human-centered design with AI. I aspire to work in AI policy. I hope to connect with fellow readers, writers, technologists, policy workers etc. 👋📚✏️🤖
I wrote a lil something about my general screaming into the voidy-ness that I'm feeling about Sora and raising a kid in this day and age and other scream-worthy concerns.

A meeting of two AI mega-minds!
the one and only @bcmerchant.bsky.social graced me with his presence to discuss whether AI will kill your job and the bubble is about to burst. oh, and i made him listen to a story about canada’s terrible AI minister.
AI companies warn their tech will wipe out huge numbers of jobs. But what are workers finding?
This week @bcmerchant.bsky.social is back to chat with @parismarx.com about whether the AI bubble is bursting and how bosses are using AI hype against workers.

Google won’t be forced to sell its Chrome browser and can keep paying companies to keep its search engine as the default on smartphones, thanks to a federal ruling.
In other words? Google gets to remain a monopoly and keep its harmful, anti-competitive practices.
Shameful.
