Hi, I’m Brad the author of this little blog… and I have a complex and multi-faceted relationship with technology.

But the simplest way to understand it is that I dabble.

Yes, I take a lot of my work very seriously and in multiple capacities am available for hire and to work, but you’ll find that facet of my work over on my corporate website, 8r4d.com

This site is more personal.

How did you find this blog?

Did an algorithm direct you this way? Or was it a human?

In the age of artificial intelligence who’s to say, actually.

As one of my many writing projects I’ve been wanting to write more on the topic of technology, specifically the convergence and clash of human creativity with the emergence of generative AI.

I have been working in AI for a while now, participating in training and data annotation, vibe coding personal projects, and studying the work at the heart of how these systems actually work.

Here I’ll be diving into weekday topics on those subjects, sharing thoughts and ideas, and trying to wrap my head around what it means to be a creative professional in the age of artificial creativity.

It’s the Poets versus the Processors.
