Field notes on technology, ethics, and what holds together.
Long-form writing on digital rights, AI governance, the platforms that shape public life, and the institutions that might still be capable of holding them to account.
This is where I think out loud. The essays here are not a methodology. They are observations, arguments, and occasional alarms about technology, governance, and the architectures that determine what kind of public life is still possible.
If you are looking for the framework that underlies the Fab Campaigns approach to partnership work, that lives in its own section now — the Partnership Principles — and is referenced from here where it overlaps.
What follows is in reverse chronological order. The most recent piece sits at the top. Older essays remain because the questions did not get less urgent.
Currents — most recent
Four signals from Anthropic that should change how you think about partnerships.
In the space of ten days, Anthropic sent four signals that, taken together, say more about where AI partnerships are heading than any strategy deck. Technical, governance, commercial, geographic — and none of them readable in isolation.

Looking for the framework?
The five Partnership Principles — Partnerships Over Transactions, Embedding Over Advising, Adventure Over Comfort, Presence Over Performance, Growth Through Discomfort — live in their own dedicated section, with a long-form essay for each.
