Drift
Turn one question into a branching map of ideas. Start with your own question and follow the branches with AI.
Experiments · free to open, no sign-up
Curiosity, made tangible.
Walk into a painting. Follow a question. Watch a system learn. These are things to try, not just things to read about.

A topic becomes a film.
World’s fastest
video maker.
Type a topic. Watch a narrated, illustrated explainer begin in seconds, while the rest keeps being made.
The ambition, not a verified ranking. Recorded starts: 4.1–14.3 seconds. See the timings on the page.
Seven styles. Word-by-word captions. Wide and vertical videos.

Dashboardtopia
A gallery of imagined dashboards and data interfaces, built to study how information design changes what you notice.
BrowseResearch in public
Methods pointed at real questions, with the evidence and the failures left visible.
How learning works
Small, honest machines for building intuition about optimisation, emergence, and reinforcement.
Neural Arena
Train reinforcement-learning agents in the browser, compare algorithms, and watch the learning curve move in real time.
Train
NCA Evolution
Neural cellular automata that grow, repair, and evolve from a single seed, with a public leaderboard of the best runs.
Grow
Gradient Descent
Train a neural network by tuning its learning rate. Find the sweet spot between slow progress and overshooting, then race toward 95% accuracy.

Explainers and field notes.
Long-form pieces written to be understood: interactive primers and research notes from the same practice.
- The Price of an IdeaAI can make a first attempt more accessible. That does not remove testing, judgment or responsibility. A short film, a practical reading companion and a worksheet for turning one postponed idea into a trustworthy test.
- The Reach of BeingYour body stays the same size, but tools, marks, virtual worlds and AI let more of you take form beyond it. A film and reading companion on what the evidence shows, where it stops, and four questions to ask before you extend yourself.
- What If AI Could Write a Million Tokens a Second?If one AI agent could write a million tokens a second, drafts would become almost free in time. Judgment would not.
- Why Doesn't Giant AI Always Overfit?Big models can memorize. That doesn't mean they only memorize. A six-minute Drift film, an interactive early-stopping experiment, and a useful guide to what generalization actually requires.
- Control TheoryAn interactive introduction to feedback, stability, and control: the mathematics behind systems that steer themselves.
