Independent research and development
Brakepoint is the current home for that work.
This site is the public home for work arising from a contradiction I do not believe can be cleanly resolved: advanced AI may offer extraordinary new forms of human capability while also placing the human future at extraordinary risk.
I am interested in what meaningful action looks like from inside that contradiction—how to create useful leverage, preserve human direction, and build practical capacity for restraint without pretending that the technology’s promise is not real.
A public effort focused on AI risk, technological power, and the need for deliberate intervention in humanity’s trajectory.
First Brakepoint project
A constraint-first cognitive interface and research project exploring how powerful AI can increase human capability without quietly absorbing human judgment, authorship, or control.
I’m interested in hearing from people working seriously on AI risk, governance, cognitive systems, or adjacent technical and institutional problems.
