The Fight for Clearer Laws on Human Authorship
When AI participates in making a work, what did the human actually author? A response to Georgetown University Library’s current AI and copyright research.
Atlas Observe
Research Journal
Questions, experiments, observations, and positions that emerge from the work. The tools will change. The record should remain useful.
Endless Generation
AI makes it easy to create another version. The harder part is deciding what matters, remembering what was approved, and knowing when to move on.
Why Did I Vibe Code a Platform to Fight Vibe Directing?

Human Performance Sovereignty
The boundary between a human performance and a machine-generated one — and the research question it opens for Project Luna.
The Renderer Is Becoming Interchangeable
AI agents are starting to sit above multiple generation platforms at once — evidence for separating creative authority from rendering capability.
What if the performance came first?
A real performer, an approved performance, and a test of whether those choices can survive a change of AI video tool.
