The Dark Factory: How AI Takes Over Software Shipping
Autonomous AI systems now code, test, and ship with minimal human oversight. Simon Willison calls this the 'dark factory.' It's emerging now in startups and poses real risks.

The field guide to AI in everything you care about.
Featured SeriesBy 2030, courtside might mean VR. By 2035, the broadcast could follow your eye movements. By 2050, the definition of "watching sports" will have changed entirely. This series models how mixed reality, AI personalization, and spatial computing will collapse the distance between fan and field.
