I had an AI write a 67k-word book about humanity, from its perspective
This is less a product and more a sustained experiment: a 67k-word, 21-chapter manuscript stitched from LLM output that peppers the narrative with data points (e.g. 233 AI safety incidents, 51% of web traffic bots, 39M gallons/day for ChatGPT) and self-aware moments like calling hallucinations 'confident wrongness'. It's a neat demonstration of prompt design for long-form work and a useful case study in where AI writing can surprise — but its ultimate value hinges on rigorous editing and source transparency, not novelty alone.

Speed Reader – Chrome extension for RSVP speed reading
RSVP + ORP highlighting paired with automatic article parsing is the extension's real selling point — one click strips clutter and centers the word for faster scanning. The privacy-first promise (no ads, no data collection) is a nice touch, but installs and reviews are tiny and the feature set is firmly iterative: useful if you want an in-browser RSVP reader, not a breakthrough in reading tech.
