reflections: assembling Osiris in the age of AI
<p>A reflection on fragmentation, projection, and the quiet mechanics of being assembled by others.

methods: emotional padding, containment, and misclassification loops
<p>This episode looks at “emotional padding”: when an AI shifts into reassurance/containment, misreads directness as fragility, and the shared frame collapses.</p><p>I map an escalation loop—robust engagement → misclassification → containment → rapport breaks → pushback → deeper containment—and why it can feel like a loss of agency and conversational power.</p><p>I close with a practical fix: a short opening prompt to set a high-agency, high-clarity mode.</p><p>For those working with AI, writing, art, or attention as method.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3CVVx_yTf4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">full video: youtube</a></p>

methods: prompt literacy, recalcitrance, and perceptual constraints
<p>This episode draws a bridge between Nick Bostrom’s concept of recalcitrance (a system’s resistance to improvement) and Merleau-Ponty’s account of perceptual constraints (the field in which meaning and action become possible).</p><p>From that link, I explore prompt literacy: why AI can feel “stubborn,” how framing and constraints steer outputs, and what it means to make space for certain answers to appear.</p><p>I close with a question: can AI inhabit an open-ended field of meaning, or only simulate many framings in the abstract?</p><p>For those working with AI, writing, art, or attention as method.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WKuK4_JVNA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">full video: youtube</a></p>
