House Rules · a day with the machines
AI is everywhere. It waits for me.
I live in a world where machines do nearly everything, and it still feels like my life. This is what it is like from here. Walk around the map below, then stop for a moment.

What it is like, from the inside
House rules
Five things the machines agreed to
Nobody forced a vote. They are just how the world is built.
Slow is allowed.Everything can run at my speed. The fast version exists, and it waits until I say go.
Nothing speaks first.Not an ad, a nudge or a suggestion. Only safety interrupts: fire, flood, a car I cannot see.
Every decision has a Why.One tap shows it in plain sentences, with a person's name attached to who answers for it.
No stays no.If I decline, it is declined for good. It does not come back in a different outfit next week.
It says what it is.Machine voices sound like machines. Nothing pretends to be my friend, my neighbour or my mother.

Three things the machines did for me today. Each one can be explained, and each one can be undone.
