Welcome to the DEC Blog
Welcome to the DEC blog. This is where I share insights from over two decades of work at the intersection of technology, law, research, and complex problem-solving.
You’ll find a mix of content here:
- AI and Technology — Practical observations from daily professional use of large language models, including experiments, comparisons, and lessons learned from working with Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI systems
- Business Insights — Hard-won lessons about trust, pricing, client relationships, and the business of consulting
- Research — Updates on my physics research into inertial scaling laws, time dilation, and the structure of the universe
- Legal and Forensic Analysis — Perspectives on court monitoring, expert testimony, discovery support, and the technical side of legal proceedings
The common thread through all of it is rigorous thinking applied to complex problems. Whether I’m analyzing an LLM’s behavior, examining a legal dispute, or deriving scaling laws, the approach is the same: first principles, evidence, and a willingness to follow the analysis wherever it leads.
I hope you find something here that makes you think. If you have questions or want to discuss any of these topics, reach out.
