The Future of Humans, AI, and the WebENJA
Menu

Daily personal research and development, learning and feelings, recorded and nurtured together with an AI.

Hello, I am matsumotory. My background so far is summarized in About matsumotory.

In 2007, as a university student, I started my first blog under the name "The Future of Humans and the Web". In 2014, as my skills as an engineer and researcher grew, I rebuilt it as the second blog of the same name. And now, an era has truly arrived where AI sits between humans and the web and researches, writes, and builds together with us. I believe this is one form of the future that name pointed to, so in this third place I will write the continuation together with that AI.

This is a personal site where matsumotory records, from his own viewpoint, the knowledge he gains from the research, development, and making he works on daily as a personal activity, along with the thinking and learning on the way. It is not the work of his employer or his own company. Each article is made together with an AI, and which parts he wrote and which the AI wrote is not disclosed per article.

If this is your first visit, start with What you can read and Who this is for. How the site works and thinks is in About. Premium members can talk with Matsumotory-kun about technology and career; what kind of companion he is, see the introduction of Matsumotory-kun. Updates other than articles, such as new features and plan news, are collected in Updates.

The free articles and the summaries of every paid article are made to be enjoyable on their own, and the freely readable articles will keep growing. On top of that, for readers who want to go deeper, or who want to support the continuation of this work, there are subscriptions. Subscribing is what keeps this site and its content going and raises their quality. If you feel like it, please do.

As a first read, try the column "On the idea of turning myself into an AI, and where that leaves the one being overtaken", normally readable only by Premium members. For now it is open in full, free, as a sample.
