Another day, another breathless Medium post announcing the future of AI. You know the ones: shiny thumbnails, that familiar soft-focus portrait of a “founder” staring earnestly into the glow of their own imagined disruption. The titles are always the same — “The AI Bubble Is About to Burst,” “We Spent $47,000 Running AI Agents,” “How We’re Approaching AI-Generated Writing on Medium.”
And every time, the crowd gathers. The same applause. The same recycled insights. The same medium, never the message.

Let’s be clear. You won’t find any of that performative techno-spiritualism here.
No breathy “AI as muse” mythology. No Medium-style “transparency” editorials pretending to wrestle with the ethics of automation while quietly doubling ad impressions off the debate. What you’ll find here is lived, verifiable, and — most importantly — actually useful.

March 1st. St David's Day. Cardiff goes to Athens. While the rest of Wales is pinning Daffodils to their lapels and singing in the rain, we're doing something significantly weirder. The Hollow Circuit Book One — Official 2nd Edition — drops on Kindle. March 1st, 2026. From Athens. Specifically from somewhere in The Plaka. Maybe. Alt.Cardiff2026: ZINE GLITCH The new poster-format folding zine is here — bilingual, baby — English and Greek, because Alt.Cardiff2026 isn't staying in Alt.Cardiff
