QUALIA INTEL
Exploring AI x Knowledge x Society.
Work in the open
Qualia Intel is an inquiry into AI, collaborative intelligence and society, argued in images (Instagram-format) and essays (Substack, new). It sits at the intersection of form, science, and social commentary. Both a research exploration and a creative practice, Qualia experiments with hybrid workflows and AI-generated visuals. It is, quite simply, where my interests and skills come together. Small, and growing. That's the point: you can watch the argument being built.

Papers, preprints, conference floors, public debates … followed across the social sciences, cognitive science, HCI (Human-Computer Interaction), philosophy of mind and visual culture. The good questions sit between the fields. Qualia brings back the ones that change how we think, and work with AI.

One question might become a visual dossier, a carousel that argues slide by slide, a mechanism card ending in a protocol you can actually use, or an essay when the idea needs room. Soon: reported pieces, from conference floors and the field.

No benchmark racing or model showdowns. Plenty of places do that already, and better. Tools do show up here, but tested. The center of focus stays human: how we think, judge, create and collaborate when machines join in, and who builds, owns and governs the systems we do it with.
Socio-technical challenges: the most pressing questions about AI are human.
Socio-technical challenges: the most pressing questions about AI are human.
How we think, co-think, and imagine with AI.
In-depth exploration of human-AI cognitive interaction, examining how AI (re)shapes our thinking processes and how we can maintain intellectual autonomy while leveraging machine intelligence.
— The cognitive subject
Augmented creation, collaboration, and control in the age of AI.
Socio-technical angle. The political economy and social dynamics of AI creation. Who builds, owns and governs those systems, and how power flows through augmented creation.

AI’s next chapter.
The frontier research that hasn't settled yet. From mechanistic interpretability to the philosophy of mind: following the scientists and thinkers working at the edge of what we actually know about intelligence.
