  1. Cognitive tests at scale, for pennies

    Published October 25, 2026 · research Judgment modelsCognitive scienceAI & machine learning active

    Jev, from TypeSafe AI, answers a typed question about a text with a probability in about a fifth of a second for about two thousandths of a cent, and when it is confident it gives the same answer each time. That makes psychology-style experiments practical at a scale that normally needs hundreds of volunteers: rating thousands of words, or running a battery of classic bias tests in minutes. What turns up matters to AI builders, Jev users and brain researchers: some human quirks appear, some do not, and on first impressions it does the opposite of people.

    An essay on whether national security, secure methods and international competition will push the frontier AI labs toward national-laboratory status, and what past labs suggest about the shape that could take.

  4. AI-native biology, beyond the announcements

    A research series on the companies rebuilding biological discovery around AI: what they are betting on, how their approaches differ, and what changes as the work meets reality.

  5. Scale Tool

    Published October 9, 2026 · tool Education & learning active

    A React and TypeScript explorer in which one editable decimal value drives source-backed comparisons across nine distinct units. It keeps estimates, models, theory, and unknown quantities explicitly separate from measurements.

  6. Jev Turing

    Published October 8, 2026 · experiment Judgment modelsCognitive scienceAI & machine learning active

    An independent experiment that uses a Jev Boolean judgment as the only logic primitive for gates, an SR latch, and Rule 110 cell updates, with recorded runs and a ground-truth checker. It is not affiliated with TypeSafe AI or Vercel.

  7. AI Agent Journey Journal

    Published August 19, 2026 · journal AI & machine learningAI & society active

    A static, evidence-backed journal about changes from conversational AI assistants toward persistent local agent systems. It records directional changes in architecture, operation, governance, and understanding rather than routine updates.

  8. Passwords in the Age of AI
