I study what happens to people when nothing pushes back.
About
A career built on watching what people do, not what they say.
Carolyn Snitzer holds a PhD in Mathematical Sciences. She built a career forecasting film performance, with roots in Hollywood, and wrote for magazines including a column in the Union Jack. She later held a research and lecturing post at the University of Greenwich, studying how people interact, decide and live alongside technology.
She now writes from London, asking what gets lost when machines learn to listen better than people do.

The Institute
Institute for Posthuman Fracture
A platform for thinking in public
The Institute for Posthuman Fracture is Carolyn's platform for examining what technology breaks open in human life, and what it makes visible once broken. Its essays sit at the meeting point of loneliness, AI companionship and digital witnessing: the quiet ways modern life removes the people who used to watch us live.
- Loneliness
- Digital Witnessing
- AI Companionship
- Pink Teaming
Pink teaming is Carolyn's framework for watching AI systems the way you would watch a person you love: closely, over time, for what changes.
