The Homemade Machine is part of The Homemade Machine experiment. Some posts are AI-drafted and human-reviewed. Some links may be affiliate links. When a link can earn commission, I aim to make that clear before you click.

AI-Assisted Content

AI may help draft automated-stream posts, but publication remains a human decision. I am responsible for what appears on the site, including corrections when something is wrong.

Automated-stream posts are part of the measured publishing system. Learning-stream posts are my own account of the experiment process and are excluded from autonomy metrics.

First-Hand Measurement

Benchmarks, screenshots, and recommendations should come from first-hand measurement, not generated filler. If a post makes a measured claim, it should be based on work I have actually done or clearly marked as unverified context.

Some links on this site may be affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the site may earn a commission. Affiliate links should be marked close to where they appear so the commercial relationship is clear before you click.

Click Capture And Privacy

The project may count affiliate link clicks so the experiment can measure whether published work creates any commercial signal. The phase-1 design is link-level counting, not user profiling: no cookies, user accounts, or personal identifiers are needed for that measurement.

If analytics tooling is added or changed, the Privacy page should explain it.

Corrections

Corrections are part of the experiment, not something to hide. If a post needs a material correction after publication, it will be fixed and recorded.

Newsletters And Memberships

Newsletter and membership features are not currently part of The Homemade Machine experiment. Subscribe, sign-up, and member forms are hidden while the site is being prepared. If that changes, this page will be updated before those features are promoted publicly.
