The Science of Ordinary

Rocks are boring. That’s kind of the point.

In a world obsessed with attention-grabbing headlines and flashy upgrades, the most radical thing you can do might be to embrace the mundane.

When we hold a rock, we’re holding something billions of years old. No batteries. No cloud sync. Just carbon, quartz, maybe some mica if you’re lucky. It doesn't crash or update. It doesn’t care about your opinions.

That’s what makes the A.I. Rocks project so brilliant. It reframes the ordinary as the final frontier of honesty — with AI helping package it like the absurd cultural artifact it is.
