Lab log
What's on the bench, as it happens.
Sketching a desktop Sam. Not promising anything yet.
Making every Sam reply cheaper without making it any less smart.
Wrote a whole fictional life, 400 notes deep, to test whether Sam really remembers.
Taught Sam to keep track of whose words are whose when people share notes.
Who's in the lab
One person, for now. I build at the edge because that's where the fun is, and because new technology should leave people lighter, not busier.
