Things I've built, written, and read — often orbiting how people work together and who technology serves.
Writing
View all- Agents Don’t Do Favors Inbox agents are built to win each exchange, so the cold notes and small favors that open doors for outsiders don't make the cut. Generosity pays off over years, and our agents can't see that far.
- Capitalism for AI Safety Five ways to make AI safety pay: liability for preventable harm, safety certification tied to tax breaks and contracts, power-law prizes, retention grants and safety-linked markets.
- As Agents Aggregate, Can the Trades Own Their Front Door? AI agents can book any tradesperson with a web presence, no sign-up needed, which could turn the trades into gig workers the way platforms turned publishers into interchangeable suppliers. The way out is a booking channel the trades own together, like realtors' MLS, and agents have made one cheap to build and easy to fill.
