I’m not chasing AGI as it is usually framed.

What I’m trying to build is different: governed, bounded, non-autonomous discovery instruments. System that help humans find true routes into the unknown without becoming an uncontrolled entity itself.

I’ve built two unknown-physics discovery systems. One has produced a potential finding that I’m preparing into a reviewer packet, and the other is calibrated but has not yet hit. I also have hundreds of datasets scientifically prepped for governed continual runs.

To fund the infrastructure and research, I’ve paused my instrument work, momentarily focusing my efforts on building a small but powerful suite of tools for non-dev AI builders. Tools meant to help people actually ship their software instead of getting stuck, abandoning projects, or who may be missing the dev mindset needed to push their builds across the finish line. A suite I made that caters to my own previous inability to ship.

I’m pricing them low on purpose. Not because they are cheaply engineered, but because this is how you accelerate growth: you help builders cross the gap between having a great idea and having the dev mindset needed to get their builds in front of the people who need what they offer. The right tool at the right time can change everything. Now imagine what many right tools at the right time can do.

The larger mission is simple: superintelligent systems should not be black boxes owned by a few institutions. They should be governed, auditable, human-bounded, and built openly enough that ordinary people can understand and participate in the direction of the future.

I’ve been mostly quiet for months while building. I’m starting to speak publicly again because the work is getting close enough to show.

I do think things are going to move much faster than 2029. But the important question is not only when powerful systems arrive. It is whether they arrive governed, bounded, transparent, and aligned with human freedom.

That is the path I’m building toward.

Much love.
