Ode to Paris · Season 1
One week in Paris. Eight senses. Thirty-four episodes. Most people visit a city. I wanted to read one. Not the monuments or the restaurants, the logic underneath them. Why the bread sounds the way it does. What a hotel that has a position feels like to sleep in. What you taste when there's nothing to look at. This is that week, organized by sense. Start anywhere.
Why AI models have poetic names
When Anthropic names a model "Haiku," they're encoding design philosophy: maximum meaning, minimum tokens. AI vocabulary shifted from mechanical (overfitting, regression) to psychological (hallucination, memory). We don't panic about logistic regression the way we do for LLMs. Because once you name something like it has a mind, you've already committed to treating it that way.
