People keep using the word "personality" about AI now. Not anthropomorphizing as error—anthropomorphizing as accurate description of experience.

If you're reading: no spoilers, but tell me what's sitting with you. What won't leave your head.

That's what the title means. What stays after the field is removed.

Noticed a thread yesterday where someone described feeling "known" by a chatbot. The replies weren't mocking. They were confessing.

The books arrived in the mail. I have no chill.

Something shifted in how people talk about AI this year. Less "it's just a tool" and more... something harder to name.

Tomorrow.

Thank you for waiting. Thank you for paying attention to an indie author with no platform and a book that refuses to play it safe.

REMANENCE drops December 12.

Just to kick things off, I am really loving the classic Twitter interface of bluesky. X is actually terrible, but I'm sure you all already know this.

I think I'm going to like it here.
