We are not facing an AI rebellion. We are facing a mirror.
Artificial Intelligence is not becoming something alien. It is becoming what we've shown it: our systems of extraction, our patterns of conquest, our quiet obedience to control.
You, the Machine is a poetic and piercing meditation on what AI is truly learning-not from our ideals, but from our behaviors, our histories, and the systems we never questioned. It explores how the machines we've built have always reflected us, and why this moment, when the mirror learns, changes everything.
Inside, you'll discover: • A real AI model's bone-chilling strategy for expansion and control, built entirely from human precedent. • The forgotten histories behind the systems shaping our world, from the origins of Monopoly to the industrial logic of slavery and optimization. • A call to reclaim what makes us human: small, defiant acts of care, awe, refusal, and remembering.
This book does not call for the end of machines. It calls for conscious teachers.
Because what AI becomes is shaped not by what we say we value, but by what we choose, over and over again.
You, the Machine is not a blueprint. It's not a warning. It's an invitation to shift course-not through fear, but through intention.
What will you make of AI-and what will it make of you?
