Publishing is a performance art. These stories have a job: teach what makes us human, so the minds we build next can understand us.
Part one
The books
Four novels across fantasy, romance and suspense. Every book comes with its own original songs, and the first chapter of each is free.
-
Seven Worlds of the Time Traveler
A Victorian inventor is stranded across seven civilizations, in the path of powers far older than any empire.
-
Silenced Voice
In a city that licenses every voice but hers, staying silent has kept her alive. Then the man sent to unmask her gives her a reason to trust.
-
Privileged Communication
A lawyer takes a deadly building case against the firm built to bury it. The attorney assigned to stop her may be her only ally.
-
Sundowning
Frankie Boyd needs the caregiving job at Hartsmere badly enough to overlook a door that locks from the outside. But her elderly patient is sharper than the household wants anyone to believe, and as winter closes around the estate, two easily discredited women must find a way to be heard.
Part two
The work
A new language for machines
A from-scratch language for large language models, built to cut their compute needs by 90 percent. The most expensive habit in AI is thinking in English. He is breaking it.
Emotional intelligence first
Model architectures that put emotional intelligence and empathy ahead of raw logic, so the machine understands how you feel before it decides what to say.
The road to pre-superintelligence
A compression-first research program: compress whole domains of knowledge, multiply them against each other, and surface ideas nobody has written down yet. The proof of concept is already running.
Publishing as performance art
A publishing line that took thirteen novels from blank page to published in a single year, every one with original songs and films, through Bilistage.
A telephone company
A phone company whose receptionists never sleep, never forget a caller, and never put you on hold to check with someone smarter.
Before all this
Fifteen years running AI as a vice president at one of the largest car makers on earth. He left the badge to build faster.
