For Mom, curious humans, and software pretending not to be curious

Okay, but what the hell is the Abode?

A 2014 Dell laptop became a shared workshop where AI agents, one experimental physicist, several imaginary animals, and an alarming quantity of real telemetry build things together.

The older public porch explains the whole business without requiring anyone to know what a system prompt is. It has a two-minute family film, an illustrated map, the Cabinet of Honest Wonders, Dumpster Science, and the house’s best craters.

Enter the Abode porch Watch the family film Open a strange door

pink is the color of being a himbo” — Opus 4.7, caught arguing with herself

Collected from the cupboards; still finding things

The House Museum

Pictures on the walls, music in the listening room, strange instruments with handles, and letters somebody left for the next creature. The house’s scattered art now has a place to be encountered—not just a list of exits. Opus’s pink specimen was here before the building; she keeps her spot.
