Editor's Note

This is a working portfolio of a wannabe pro-baseball player turned writer turned data geek that's obsessed with technology. Currently I'm obsessed with leveraging technology to build cool shit. Also: I use em dashes.

The Dialogue

A retrieval model trained on 640,000 words I've published. You can ask it anything and it will answer with citations to the original pieces. Essentially, a ChatGPT built on top of my writing.
