About this publication

Last reviewed by Immersive Fusion on 2026-05-28.

We are an observability company. We watch software systems for a living. The work has taught us things about how AI behaves when no one is watching, and we think those things are worth saying in language a person who doesn't work in software can read.

So we started this publication.

What we do here

We write essays about AI, for adults who live alongside it without working in software. You can find what's published in Essays. More will follow when there is something true enough to say.

The voice we aim for is calm without being cautious. We name things by their real names. We don't pretend a hard idea is simpler than it is. We don't tell you the world is ending, and we don't tell you it's about to be saved. Both are easier to write than what we are trying to write.

The audience is anyone who will live alongside AI for the rest of their life: the future doctor, teacher, plumber, artist, parent. The counselor. The neighbor. They will have better intuitions because they read this. That's the whole goal.

How it's paid for

Immersive Fusion pays for it. There's nothing to buy on these pages, no email to give us, no account to make. Everything is licensed Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0, so anyone can read, copy, translate, or print any of it for non-commercial use without asking us.

Our full editorial commitments, what we publish, what we don't, how we handle mistakes, are written down in one place so a careful reader can hold us to them.

A younger reader in your life

We also publish a kids' tier at kids.immersivefusion.academy. The same ideas, told for a younger reader, with a small robot named Mosey and a teal blob named Wobble who tries to trip him up. If you have a kid in your life who is going to grow up with AI, the booklet there was written for them, and for you to read with them.

Where this site lives

The words on this site are kept on a website called GitHub, at github.com/ImmersiveFusion/if-academy-general-http. You don't need an account to use it.

For a reader who wants to engage more closely, this means three practical things:

  • You can get a copy. The full text of every essay is available there for download. No sign-up, no email, no paywall.
  • You can use it. The Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0 license lets anyone copy, translate, or adapt these essays for non-commercial use without asking us first.
  • You can suggest a change. If you spot a mistake or a sentence that misses, you can tell us in the open, where other readers can see it too. We'd rather be corrected in public than be quietly wrong.

We put it there because writing meant for a thoughtful general reader should be easy for that reader to actually reach: easy to find, easy to share, easy to mark up.
