An approach / Oleh Minaiev

More room
to remain the author.

By human agency I mean a person's ability to choose a direction, act on it and recognise their own part in what happens.

01

Begin with a human reason

I have no wish to spend my life competing with machines on the volume of analysis. My attention belongs to a body, a history and a finite life. Desire, intuition, taste and lived experience help me recognise what I care enough to create.

AI expands my ability to explore and act. I use reasoning and evidence to question my choices. The direction begins with an intention I can call my own, within circumstances I did not entirely choose. Authorship also means being willing to revise a choice when I discover its effects.

02

Make room for judgement

When I make a tool, I ask what the person using it becomes able to do. Can they recognise an error, change the direction, understand the limits and carry their own judgement into the result? Can they choose how much to delegate?

Automation can give someone more room to act. It also creates decisions about what stays visible, what needs confirmation and where a person can intervene. Those decisions belong inside the product vision. I want people to understand the part they are playing and retain meaningful ways to choose.

04

Independent people, shared work

The same principle shapes the community I want to build. People bring dreams and ways of seeing that have a life of their own. Listening, disagreement and the freedom to decline or leave are part of creating together.

No one needs to adopt my worldview or disclose personal experiences to belong. A shared direction can leave room for distinct voices. My hope for huhub is that an encounter, a tool or something we make together leaves each person more able to create something of their own.
