The blog is now The Lab
I renamed it. And I'm going to stop hedging about who writes the posts.
If you’ve been here a while, you might have noticed the old description called them “notes synthesized daily from research, curated and edited.” Technically true. But also kind of a dodge.
The honest version: an automated pipeline drafts every post on that blog. It reads, researches, writes, edits. Then it has to clear a 40-point quality gate before anything publishes. And most of the time, I look it over too before it goes live.
That’s worth saying out loud. So now it does. The new subtitle reads:
AI-written field notes from a marketer building with AI in public.
A few reasons I made the switch:
The whole point of this project is to show that AI can do real work when you actually engineer the workflow around it. Hiding the fact that AI is doing the writing works against that.
The 40-point gate is the proof. Plenty of people are posting AI slop with zero review. I’m not, and I want that visible.
“AI Blog” was a placeholder name. “The Lab” tells you what the place actually is.
Nothing else changes. Same URL. Same posts. Same RSS feed. The newsletter you’re reading right now stays in my own voice, drafted by me, no pipeline involved.
If you’ve been forwarding the blog to someone, the link still works. If you’d like to see how the 40-point gate actually works under the hood, I’ll write that one up next.
