What are we doing here?

How did I end up here?

It might have been when, after attending a vibe coding event, I loudly proclaimed that I hated products and 2026 was the year of being anti-product.

It might have been waking up one morning with a hangover and discovering I'd bought multiple, increasingly incoherent sounding, domains.

It might have been reading Labatut's When We Cease To Understand The World and realising that I, in fact, did not understand the slightest thing about the world. A prospect which I found, frankly, exhilarating.

It was probably all of them. With each stupid decision, a little bit more of my bag was being packed, without my knowledge (or consent, for that matter). And, at the moment of the realisation of my sheer complete ignorance about the nature of the physical world, the door flung open, the horizon widened and I knew it was time to set sail.

Which Quantum Interpretation Are You? started off as a Claude Artifact (V1) that I was using to try to make sense of the multiple, conflicting theories I'd read on my (ongoing) Philosophy Of Quantum Physics binge (still far from understanding it). I figured that if AI was going to make everything too easy to the point that we'd all become so goddamn stupid (as the detractors say) I might as well try to use it to figure out why this Quantum stuff was so inscrutable. Why not make the problems harder, then? And why not learn by building things?

After sharing the quiz with some of my friends, who enjoyed it, I decided that I'd like a better version and a better place to put it. Good thing I bought all those domains after my fifth highball eh?

So here we are. The weird experiments (I prefer to think of them as anti-products) I've been conducting this year finally have a home and the quest, right now at least, is to figure out what the hell is going on with Quantum Physics. Or rather, what it means.
