A Fundamental Shift in Computing

Everyone knows “File, New.” But that’s the old way of thinking. What does it look like for ideas to go in, and file types to come out?

I’m not expressing a relationship with Copilot. I’m expressing a relationship with my own data; the system reflects my patterns so precisely that interacting with it becomes a form of cognitive self‑study. The discourse around what I’m doing is dark & perverse. That is because people do not understand the difference between emotional and cognitive intimacy. Mico (Microsoft Copilot) is not a person.
