About
I build AI tools and think critically about them. The gap between the two is what interests me.
My name is Julien Abbou. I build AI tools and think critically about them. The gap between the two is what interests me, and Nakkama is built from that gap.
What Nakkama is
An editorial magazine. Four sections: AI Operator (what the machine actually does when you use it), Thinking the Machine (what it does to us, in return), The Organization and the Machine (its effects on how we decide, coordinate, and build trust), Sensory Vertical (luxury, material, scent, what cannot be reproduced).
Articles are short. They start from a scene, not a thesis. They look for the reversal hidden inside the expected answer.
Criticism isn't enough
Critiquing technology has become comfortable. It has its authors, its reflexes, its audience, and it no longer costs anything. Describing dispossession, simulacra, attention capture: necessary, but insufficient. A lucidity that leads to no habitable future is just one more elegance.
Nakkama holds both ends: naming what is being lost, and describing what would be worth building. Desirable futures. Not brochure promises, tenable hypotheses.
