AI Pairing
Before an AI sends, buys, or commits for you, one second of resistance. I built it twice. One you feel on a screen, one that runs as tested, working firmware.
THE TENSION
We stopped deciding.
AI made every choice easy to skip, so we skip them. It drafts the email, fills the form, picks the plan, and most of the time we just wave it through.
The screen keeps getting smoother while our judgment gets less practice. Quietly, that adds up. The machine still isn't better than us where it counts, and yet we've stopped showing up for the decision. By now it touches almost everything. What we buy, when we sleep, who we trust.
