What is M/Lab?

M/Lab is a living paper and index for AI-assisted judgment.

Definition

M/Lab is built around a simple concern: when machines produce fluent outputs too early, humans may stop practicing the operations that make judgment possible.

Not

It is not a prompt library. It is not a productivity system. It is not a tool showcase.

How to read it

Start with the Index. Each Node is a small entry into a larger way of thinking. Use Bites when you need practice. Read the Paper when you want the full argument. Use References when you want to understand the intellectual support behind the system.

Why it exists

M/Lab began from repeated work with AI, not from distance. The concern was not that the tool failed, but that it often worked smoothly enough to make weak thinking feel complete.

Author

M/Lab is developed by Miguel Castro, a Cannes Lions Grand Prix winner in Innovation and creative director working across creativity, technology and applied systems.

His work focuses on finding what is overlooked before it becomes obvious.

Status

M/Lab is incomplete by design. It is a living paper, updated through practice.
