This is a test of a chat interface for thistlebridge.org.

You can ask about the project, the ideas behind it, concerns about AI and human capability, what's actually running vs. what's planned, the intellectual influences (Illich, Le Guin, Schumacher), or anything adjacent.

Some starting points: "What is this?" · "I'm skeptical about AI being 'appropriate technology'" · "What's actually running right now?" · "Why local infrastructure instead of cloud?"
