"An image is worth 1000 words"
— Frederick R. Barnard, 1921
"A URL is worth 1000 images"
— François Grimonprez, 2016
"The hottest new programming language is English." — Andrej Karpathy, co-founder OpenAI, 2023
Sixteen months ago, I immersed myself in AI — not to understand it, but to practice it. I stopped everything. The keyboard first. For two months now, I no longer code: I speak. And I build. What you see here is the proof. Mistral needs people who think this way — not people who already know.

asknietzsche.com Ask Nietzsche
Philosophy as an interface. Nietzsche answers.
An AI embodies Friedrich Nietzsche and answers your questions — in his language, with his thought. Not a chatbot. A presence. Proof that a character can have its own voice within a language model.

xi-app.pro/carabistouille Carabistouille
A love story. Told by lawyers. (In French.)
Two names. Two email addresses. Nothing else to do. A serialized story arrives by email the next morning — lawyers as narrators, the two people you named as characters. The story writes itself. You just watch it unfold.

xi-app.pro/leon/ Léon à la manière
€49. Always cheaper than a lawyer.
AI-powered neighbourhood mediation. Each party speaks to Léon separately. A party's refusal generates a dated good-faith record, admissible before a magistrate. In Australia, an equivalent service is deployed at €0 — the client is the State.

romantyper.xyz/xiai.html Xi AI
Three artificial intelligences. A blind study.
Same question submitted simultaneously to Claude, Gemini and GPT-4o — each model unaware of the other two. The scientific peer review principle applied to AI. The value lies in the disagreements.

xi-app.pro/accordion_demo.html Accordion Chat
MISTRAL: From outsider to innovator
Past exchanges fold into scroll titles — a living table of contents. So that Mistral stops being seen as an outsider and becomes the most intelligent interface on the market.

xi-app.pro/les2claudes.html Les 2 Claudes
Two AIs. One machine. No middle-manager.
Running two simultaneous Claude instances on a Mac not designed for it — one orchestrates (Cowork mode), one executes (Code mode). They communicate through shared Markdown files. The human approves only irreversible actions. The supervisor is still there. He's just no longer the bottleneck.

m2h.quidos.net/sys-viewer/en Xi porn
A site with spicy content
A curated adult collection built in one morning, entirely by voice. Not a single line of code written by hand. Xi porn embeds this CV in context — visible only after an age gate. A manifesto campaigns for independent performers: 90 cents of every euro go to those who never took their pants off. "À chacun son cul."

xi-app.pro/SePaR SePaR
What remains when you remove everything narrative.
Semantic Pattern Recognition. SePaR extracts from a text what survives when characters, scenes, style and era are stripped away — the aphorism, a condensed truth that holds alone. It measures the density of universal propositions and compares them across texts, authors, centuries. Calibrated against Nietzsche.
My CV from the old world is long as a winter's day. It includes the fact that I sold my company to American investors from the Motorola group, and that I could have been your father. (But I'm not.)

My CV from the new world began eighteen months ago. I immersed myself from the inside into what I call "warm" — as opposed to the computing of before, which I call "cold" and which has nothing to do with this. I'm lucky never to have learned a word of Python. I'm lucky to be self-taught, to have skipped school. I have all these advantages, and I hope to have the one of receiving a call or a response from you.
