Lab Manifesto

Six principles guiding our work at the intersection of AI, identity, and queer culture

Pacing Over Pace

Depth over speed. Meaningful exploration requires intentional slowing down.

Signal, Not Noise

Cut through to what matters. Insights that illuminate rather than obscure.

Utility, Not Theater

AI that actually works. Practical applications over flashy demonstrations.

Creativity, Grounded

Purpose-driven creativity for LGBTQ+ culture and diverse experiences.

You, Un-Optimized

Celebrate authenticity, reject being flattened into data.

Inquiry Over Labels

Understanding over answers. Value questioning over fixed identities.

The Priest in the Pocket

Artificial intelligence has become the easiest place to think out loud. It listens without reacting, reflects without judging, and never remembers your uncertainty unless you ask it to. For many queer people this feels like relief. Yet a mirror that never looks back can quietly replace the conversations that once made identity a shared, risky, and living process.

The Trojan Horse Came with Free Shipping

There is a profound misunderstanding in the popular imagination regarding how the world ends. We have been conditioned by Hollywood to expect a cinematic finale: a mushroom cloud, a zombie horde, or a robot with a Austrian accent crushing a human skull under a chromium boot...

The Nostalgia for the Shouting Man

There is a perverse kind of romance in remembering the old totalitarianism, or even the old, clumsy democracy. One remembers the shouting. One remembers the man standing on a soapbox in Hyde Park, or the sweaty politician banging a podium until his fist turned the color of a bruised plum...
