I write about AI, data, actuarial science, and building tools that make powerful ideas accessible to everyone.
Where models are genuinely useful, where they fail, and what kind of future they are steering us toward.
Actuarial science, risk, and analytical systems grounded in real-world decision making.
Products, experiments, and interfaces that turn complicated ideas into tools people can actually use.
AI labs are surrounding their models with proprietary tooling — and that's a bet you don't want to make.
I threw a raw astrophotography file at VerbaGPT and asked it to process the Orion nebula. It worked in 15 minutes.
AI makes it trivial to build software for narrow problems. The result is a tool zoo that demands more attention than it saves.
A walkthrough of what fully autonomous data analysis actually looks like when it works — and where it still falls short.
We spend a lot of time asking what AI can do. Not enough time asking what we actually want it to do.
LLMs are surprisingly good at analysis — until the data is messy. Here's what I found testing against real-world healthcare data.
Whether I’m writing about actuarial models, testing AI systems, or building products, the recurring question is the same: does this help people think more clearly and act with better judgment?
