Own Your Voice
Cloud TTS rents you a voice and keeps your data. Afterwords clones it once so you own it — running locally, in a menu-bar app, or via your own API.

Beyond Optimisation: The Emergence of Learning Mechanics as a Formal Science
A new paper argues that a scientific theory of deep learning is forming — one that makes falsifiable predictions about training dynamics, not just bounds.
AI Nationalism and the Fracturing Digital Order
The US-China AI rivalry is splitting the global tech stack into competing blocs. A strategic assessment of what comes next.
The Post-Model Era
Foundation models are commoditising. JPMorgan calls OpenAI's moat 'increasingly fragile.' The real value is shifting to the messy plumbing underneath.
The Mitigation Gap
Biosecurity experts think AI safeguards reduce catastrophic biorisk by 70%. The technical evidence says those safeguards are brittle and bypassable.
The Failure First Team
Fifteen specialist AI agents, one methodology. How adversarial AI evaluation scales through Claude Code sessions with distinct roles and standing instructions.
Afterwords: Completing the Voice Loop in Claude Code
Adding local TTS to Claude Code so it talks back — 17 cloned voices, zero cloud dependency, one stop hook.
Giving a Robot Three Voices
Building a three-persona TTS pipeline for a Pi robot — MLX voice cloning, a GLaDOS model, and engineering graceful fallback.
Voice Cloning with Qwen3-TTS and MLX on Apple Silicon
Clone a voice from a 15-second sample using Qwen3-TTS on an 8GB M1 Mac — from raw audio to a production HTTP server with zero cloud dependency.
Beyond Context Windows
What if the LLM didn't read your document — what if it queried it? The Recursive Language Model pattern treats long texts as environment, not input.
Safety-First Therapeutic AI
Building AI for trauma therapy means the safety architecture has to exist before a single therapeutic feature does. Here's why.
The Robot That Refuses to Give Orders
How SPARK is rewriting the rules of neurodivergent support — a non-coercive AI companion for AuDHD children.
