Website is being rebuilt

Hi, I’m piestyx

I build AI agents, cognitive architectures, and little weird things, then write about what breaks along the way. This site is a long term archive for experiments, essays on the intersections of AI, philosophy & consciousness, and project devlogs. Blogs are generally written in a lighter tone, essays not so much.

Featured project — AI Live Streamer (Orielle)

An AI gameplay agent for Caves of Qud that reads game logs, reasons about state, and plays along.

Essays & Theories

Long form series essays focusing on AI, phenomenology and what it means to “observe” without experiencing. Alongside this sits a series on a speculative cosmology on the origins of the Universe. There are elements that overlap between the two lines of inquiry which are visualised under the node map on the essays lander.

  • Essays hub: check out the homepage for the essays
  • Philosophy of Observation series (includes work like The Sublimation Paradox: Was the Suffering Necessary? among others).
  • Planned series on the cosmological emergence resulting from a change of state from symmetry to non symmetry.
  • Technical theory threads on architectures such as GSAMA.
