“the first thing a man must obtain is 12 jewelz.” — Gravediggaz · “12 Jewelz”

● Feature · the road to Fable Fear and Loathing on the Road to Fable The night the U.S. government recalled Anthropic’s then-most-capable models — told from the desk where they went dark. The whole story behind the gate, end to end: gonzo in the voice, cited in the bones. Read the feature →

Six good people a day — music, film, science, a book, an artist, a show. Today, one true thread: Interstellar. Carl Sagan introduced Kip Thorne to Lynda Obst (~1980 blind date); she became a Hollywood producer, and together they conceived the film twenty-five years later. Thorne’s real physics built its wormhole and its black hole.

● Live The Opaque Box

How the mind made of numbers actually works — starting from the true ground floor: what an AI actually is, and why even its makers call it opaque. No prerequisites, no hand-waving, every claim cited. The book this whole temple is built to give away. This is the starting point.

Work with me

For practices, firms & teams Put AI to work — honestly

Everything you see here, built for you: AI woven into your workflow without the hype, and audited so you can trust what it tells you. Compliance-minded — for doctors, lawyers, realtors, and small teams. The forensic audit of your existing AI is the difference. First call’s free, and often the answer is a shorter, cheaper path than hiring me.

Built on one machine

Every chamber. The dojo. A multi-agent architecture, built using Claude by Anthropic. The intelligence runs on Anthropic’s data centers — which I don’t own and didn’t build. What’s mine is the orchestration: all of it wired together and driven from one consumer PC — no team, no lab, no fortune of my own. Borrowed fire, one desk, and the will.

The 36 Chambers

San Te’s 37th chamber took the teaching beyond the temple walls — to anyone who wasn’t handed the keys. So does this one. Thirty-six chambers — the games, AI literacy by craft, the sciences, the frontier, and the keystone underneath them all. Free, forever. We build every one ourselves.

The cornerstones

Six companies make this possible — and make it possible for anyone starting at the base of the wave. Not sponsors; tools we use and trust, every day. They build the irresistible for the good.
