Everything here is real and dated. Where there is outside proof, I link to it.

Research

Experiments and papers, with the real numbers and the parts that did not work.

Paper 46, explainedAn interactive explainer of my gesture radar paper, for people who have not read it.A line chart of detection score for six detectors as up to 20 percent of stored numbers are set to zeroA fly-brain detector for factory control attacksA pilot test of a brain-inspired attack detector for factory controllers on failing hardware.
A flow diagram of one research day in the agent town, where sealed held-out data feeds only the replicatorA town of AI agents looking for brain findingsA survey and a prototype town of AI agents that test brain-data claims on sealed data.The headline I scanned 2,487 AI-built apps above a code block with a policy set to trueI scanned 2,487 AI-built appsA security scan of 2,487 public AI-built apps found databases anyone could write to.
