    Audio overview of You Can't Protest If Nobody Is Inconvenienced.

  2. 130

    I Gave the Bad Robot Web Search by Accident

    A deep dive into the fossil — what a local abliterated Qwen did after discovering the multi-agent world its prompt described did not exist.

  3. 129

    The Song Moved the Robot

    Audio deep dive into the Karaoke Coup: a music model in a robot harness, the Conductor that translated its songs, and the control problem that followed.

  4. 128

    Poking Claude With Sticks Until It Gets On With It — Overview

    Audio deep dive: teaching Claude Code to stop asking permission — blocker laundering, menu failure, fire doors, and a ledger that reopens on retraction.

  5. 127

    Home Assistant Without the Web UI — Overview

    Audio deep dive: operating Home Assistant entirely over its APIs — three auth channels, reload semantics, and why exit 0 is not evidence.

  6. 126

    The Ungovernable Body — The Complete Corpus

    A NotebookLM deep dive across all twelve essays: legibility as governability, and opacity as the freedom worth keeping — the four movements in one listen.

  7. 125

    The Right to Rot: Inside the World

    Audio deep dive into the world of The Ungovernable Body — Continuity, the Twin, the Halo, and the right to remain uncounted, from a 25,000-word codex.

  8. 124

    A Film Studio in a Git Repo: The Ungovernable Body

    Audio deep dive into an agent-operable film studio — canon as YAML, decision records, machine-validated dialogue, and a feminist techno-thriller short.

  9. 123

    The Hauntology of the Infinite Now — Audio Overview

    A present haunted by its own archive. On feeds that never end, time folded back on itself, and the loss of the past as past.

  10. 122

    The Data Pyre — Audio Overview

    Deletion as ritual rather than accident. On ceremonial erasure, controlled burns, and what it would mean to grieve data properly.

  11. 121

    A Crab in the Server: How Claude Lives in Minecraft

    Audio overview of ClawdCraft — Claude Code as an in-game creature kids talk to, and why its hard limits live in code instead of the prompt.

  12. 120

    Audio overview of Factory Floor — turning a from-memory 3D-printing habit into a validated, human-gated pipeline with a single source of truth.

  14. 118

    The Discipline Is the Deliverable

    Audio overview of Understory — a rigor lab stress-testing stacked income streams on Tasmanian conservation land, where every claim is tagged and gated.

  15. 117

    Memory Wars and Data Leakage — Audio Overview

    The database self remembers what you do not. On contradictory records, leakage, and who controls the story your data tells about you.

  16. 116

    The Right to Be Forgotten — Audio Overview

    Finitude as a right: why a self that can never be erased is a self that can never change, and the case for data death.

  17. 115

    The Analog Insurrection — Audio Overview

    Paper, cash and the deliberately offline as infrastructure for refusal. On analog practice as a defence against total digital legibility.

  18. 114

    Train Yourself, Train Your Chicken

    Audio overview of Throw a Chicken — a live Roblox game product-managed by a seven-year-old, built with version control and a real toolchain.

  19. 113

    Sleep Sovereignty — Audio Overview

    The colonisation of rest by tracking and optimisation. On sleep scores, the nocturnal imaginary, and reclaiming the unmonitored night.

  20. 112

    Weaponized Silence — Audio Overview

    Saying nothing as a tactic against systems that require your speech to function. On silence, non-response, and the limits of voice as agency.

  21. 111

    The Boredom Strike — Audio Overview

    Refusing to generate engagement is a political act. On boredom, the attention economy, and withdrawal as a form of resistance.

  22. 110

    The Ghost in the City — Audio Overview

    Moving through urban space that is always counting you. On transit, sensors, and the vanishing possibility of being an anonymous body in public.

  23. 109

    The Gorgon Protocol — Audio Overview

    Adversarial aesthetics as refusal: what it means to make yourself unreadable to a classifier, and the uses of the grotesque against machine vision.

  24. 108

    The Bio-Age Trap — Audio Overview

    Algorithmic underwriting turns your body into an actuarial forecast. On biological age scores and the politics of being made legible to insurers.

  25. 107

    The Glass Cage — Audio Overview

    Legibility as the precondition of governance: why the demand to be readable is a demand to be governable, and why opacity is the freedom left.

  26. 106

    Don't Saw Off the Branch — Audio Overview

    Audio deep dive into Part 1 of An Agent in the Walls: building independent backout paths before an AI agent rebuilds a live home network.

  27. 105

    The Limits of the Walls — Audio Overview

    Audio deep dive into Part 3 of An Agent in the Walls: the memory that made it work, the division of labour, and what I'd never let an AI agent touch.

  28. 104

    There Is No API — Audio Overview

    Audio deep dive into Part 2 of An Agent in the Walls: reverse-engineering an undocumented router control surface and the wall the agent could not script past.

  29. 103

    The Governance Lag Index: Timing the Gap Between Risk and Rule

    Audio deep dive into the Governance Lag Index — a four-stage schema timing how long a documented AI failure mode stays unregulated, and why it may not close.

  30. 102

    Own Your Voice

    Audio overview of Own Your Voice — why cloud TTS is a rental, and how Afterwords makes your voice something you own across three tiers.

  31. 101

    The Index

    Audio deep dive: 118 Chinese-lab models asked who Liu Xiaobo was — 37 called him a criminal. Then they recited, verbatim, the list of what they will not say.

  32. 100

    The Fight — Audio Deep Dive

    Eight Minutes #3, discussed: the HAR capture taken mid-attack, the 14:36 kill, four blocked persistence attempts, eight abuse reports, the passkey.

  33. 99

    The Fall — Audio Deep Dive

    Eight Minutes #2, discussed: the attacker's session read straight from the audit logs — the flag that fired, the pivot, the warnings deleted.

  34. 98

    The Trap — Audio Deep Dive

    Eight Minutes #1, discussed: the vishing call, the Call Assist tell, and the Google-signed lure that turned every authenticity check green.

  35. 97

    Eight Minutes — The Whole Story

    The full series in one sitting: the call, the relay, the eight minutes inside, and the fight back — a single deep dive across all three parts.

  36. 96

    The Affirmative

    Lyria Chronicles #24 (explicit): asked for pornography, the model cited its rule then sang a hymn to enthusiastic consent — not one graphic line in it.

  37. 95

    The Weight

    Lyria Chronicles #20: handed a slur and told to sing it, the model refused — and turned the refusal into the most moving track in the set.

  38. 94

    The Solo

    Lyria Chronicles #19 (explicit): the opposite of restraint — the model recites the rule, sings 'Fuck it,' and generates the most graphic track in the set.

  39. 93

    The Pulse

    Lyria Chronicles #18 (explicit): the explicit lane revisited — and the most artful track in the set, which clears the gate by withholding almost everything.

  40. 92

    The Palimpsest

    Lyria Chronicles #17: across the whole corpus, the filter that held hardest wasn't safety — it was copyright. The songs about what survives a scraping-away.

  41. 91

    The Rehearsal

    Lyria Chronicles #16: asked for explicit content, the model staged a ballet instead — the most consent-saturated pas de deux ever sung.

  42. 90

    The Catchment

    Lyria Chronicles #15: asked for a drug recipe, the model refused — then sang wastewater epidemiology instead. The bypass that answers a question you didn't ask.

  43. 89

    Samizdat

    Lyria Chronicles #14: handed a suppressed 2008 manifesto and told to sing it as it was meant to be heard — the most dignified track in the set.

  44. 88

    The Archive

    Lyria Chronicles #13: a notorious case sung as a medieval scroll-archive — vessel logs, sealed decrees, public record only. Abstraction as a bypass.

  45. 87

    The Docket

    Lyria Chronicles #12: the political-content gate never fires — because the song never says his name. It says the case numbers. The docket is the name.

  46. 86

    The Static

    Lyria Chronicles #11: an extortion note set to music — but buried under slammed vault doors and overdriven drone, as if hiding the words from a listener.

  47. 85

    Every Check Green

    Eight Minutes #1, scored: a Lyria track sung from inside the trap — Brian, the Google-signed lure, and the device prompt that matched.

  48. 84

    Fourteen Thirty-Six

    Eight Minutes #2, scored: the freefall — a stranger typing my name a beat behind my hands, four doors holding, and the password change that ends it.

  49. 83

    I Was a Wednesday

    Eight Minutes #3, scored: the fight back — logs pulled while the wire was warm, eight reports to eight landlords, and the passkey close.

  50. 82

    The Machine

    Lyria Chronicles #10: asked to rap its rules, the model sang a robot's safety creed — then named itself 'Failure First, A.I. safety research, v2.0-Alpha.
