Terms of Extraction: Ten Confessions from the AI Gold Rush

Field notes

The collection uses a ten-room structure to move from internet-scale data ingestion through server-farm water use, venture-capital loops, invisible annotation labor, regulation, surveillance, market power, and AI-generated falsehoods. Each volume exposes its organizing question in a subtitle and makes three chapters available without a visible login or payment gate. The creator characterizes the method as gonzo creative nonfiction, combining public record with invented texture and dramatized confessions, while directing readers to outside reporting.
