Artificial Intelligence

AI might have rightly landed many places on the board. Shakespeare crosses with both music and art, via AI — those pages are their own destinations. As it happens, the AI-enabled images (Dall-E) and music (Suno, Udio) were made in 2024; at present they may seem quaint. (I liked the wacky edgy productions back then.)

This website was built with Claude's help (in 2026), converting my design thoughts into html, now hosted by Netlify. The design, text, and images other than those flagged as AI, are all by me.

Meanwhile, here are articles that directly address philosophical and policy implications.
