Journalist at Defense One. Watching AI in the world

I'm interested in AI progress: takeoff speeds, compute scaling, and trend lines. Also defense technology and policy, Russia-Ukraine, drones and more.

I write about AI at Read the OOM and LessWrong, and sometimes build charts, games, or other little projects.

Writing

Posts on takeoff speeds, METR time horizons, and compute — on Substack and LessWrong.

Projects

An interactive chart of METR's task-length-horizon data, plus a few other builds.

Games

Browser games, starting with Tet-a-Tet, cooperative multiplayer Tetris-style play.
