More or less a pictorial memoir.

A lifetime of personal & business travels

For over half a century, I’ve worked with numbers—numbers that mattered. As an actuary, entrepreneur, and consultant, I helped public and private entities plan health and retirement plans, guided businesses through risk, and built systems that made things clearer.

But in 2023, I typed a new kind of question into something called ChatGPT. And I’ve asked more than five thousand since. What I discovered was astonishing. Artificial intelligence could be helpful… insightful… even brilliant.

But it could also hallucinate—completely invent facts, people, even laws—and deliver them with total confidence.

That tension, between brilliance and falsehood, sparked something in me. I created Hallucinations.cloud—a place to track and understand where AI gets it wrong, and why that matters. Not to shame it. But to help us all become better digital thinkers.

And then I launched the podcast: Brian & AI: Hallucinations in the Wild. It’s not just for techies—it’s for everyone. For the curious. The cautious. The questioners. Because in a world where machines talk like humans, we need to know when they’re telling the truth—and when they’re not.

Welcome to the journey.
