Adrian Wedd
I build things that think, break, and sometimes both.
AI safety researcher and systems thinker. This is my workshop — where finished work, ongoing experiments, and raw thinking coexist.

A close reading of Neuromancer arguing Gibson encoded the experience of ADHD decades before the language existed.
Failure First
An AI safety methodology that inverts the usual approach — start with what must never happen, then work backwards.
This Wasn't in the Brochure
A neurodivergent co-parenting guide — what happens when the life you planned meets the brain you actually have.
Why Demonstrated Risk Is Ignored
Why do people acknowledge evidence of harm and then proceed as if it doesn't exist? A deep dive into structural risk dismissal.
Footnotes at the Edge of Reality
A long-form poem about what happens when physics breaks down — and what holds together when everything else fails.
ADHDo
AI cognitive scaffold for ADHD executive function — adapts to the shape of your day with zero shame by design.
Afterglow Engine
Audio archaeology tool that mines past work for new textures. Pad mining, drone generation, granular clouds.
dodgylegally
Creative audio sampling CLI. Turns random words into instruments via YouTube and a 5,000-word dictionary.
Squishmallowdex
Collection tracker for 3,000+ Squishmallows. Like a Pokedex, but softer. Built for a friend's kid, tested by mine.

Why I Build in Public
On showing your work, shipping imperfect things, and why the commit log is more honest than the readme.
