• Taste & judgement, unbundled

  30 July 2026 · taste-and-judgement, reading collection, AI-augmented work

  A reading collection: 43 works across seven literatures that give analytical precision to the 'taste and judgement' catchall in discussions of AI-augmented work. Each entry expands to its full abstract and essay from the Design Theory Timeline, and a keyboard-driven slideshow mode presents one work at a time.
