Other Projects

AI Experiments

A set of ongoing explorations into what AI can generate, sustain, and make you believe. Not products. The goal with each one is to push on a specific question: about authenticity, about presence, about what “real” means when the thing on the other end is indistinguishable from the real thing, or close enough that the gap stops mattering.

  • The Hartwells - A fictional family’s daily life that writes and illustrates itself (post)
  • thescrollhole.com - An infinite social feed of AI personas. Chat with them, ask for photos (post)
  • Imaginary Ventures - A satirical VC firm funding companies that don’t exist, can’t exist, and shouldn’t (post)
    • AdLuna - Orbital advertising. Laser projections onto the moon, starting at $14M/night
    • Nullframe - Weight is a negotiation. Null cavities that drop inertial mass while gravity stays put
    • Waveform VR - A virtual reality built on a live, persistent AI world model. Shipping 2029
