THE TERTULIA — A TABLE, NOT A LECTURE HALL
Patient, plain-language courses on how AI really works — with working Python notebooks you keep.
ENTENDER · THE LENS — THE LIBRARY’S FIRST COURSE, DRAWN AS A PLATE. EACH TRACK HAS ITS OWN.
THE LIBRARY
Start anywhere. Each track stands alone; together they build on each other. The full curriculum of every course is public — every lesson, listed by name.
How the machine actually works, in plain language. No code. The lens.

See the course →The ten lines behind every chat window — the engines, on your terms. The controls.
See the course →Turn public archives into evidence you can cite. The record.
See the course →Read the scholarly record — reviewed, cited, contested — without a university badge. The proof.

THE MEMBERSHIP
Every track above — and every course we add next. $10 a month, or $100 a year. Cancel anytime.
WHO TEACHES THIS
Dr. Diego Bonilla is a Full Professor of Communication Studies at Sacramento State and teaches graduate courses at UNAM in Mexico City. He created COMS 101 — Information Management and Privacy — and still teaches it; built a six-course digital-literacy minor approved unanimously by faculty; and directed the faculty learning community where these lessons were first taught to professors. He builds his own AI tools — fifteen and counting.
PROOF, WEEKLY
Every Saturday, AI News Social reads ~4,000 sources on AI and society, scores them against a nine-criterion rubric, and synthesizes the result into essays, podcasts, and interactive charts — a pipeline made of the same skills this library teaches: public archives as evidence, models reached through their APIs, media generated in code.
