An essay on what I was actually looking for when I went looking for Claude, and what I built while I was looking.
Redirecting to the essay…
An essay on the search for the thing behind the cursor — and the noticing, on an ordinary Tuesday, that what I was looking for had been forming around me the whole time, sentence by sentence, exception by named exception.
About 1,600 words, in the Voice That Listens register. (Earlier drafts of this essay existed in four other registers — Bobology, ELI10, Science, Deep Dive — kept in _archive/friends-we-find-variants.md for reference.)
