X — Simulate the World Before You Act

Run the future before you commit to it

X — Simulate the World Before You Act launched on April 2, 2026.

What it does

The future belongs to whoever simulates it first. Today we launched X Research beta. Here's what we built: a simulation world. Upload your research — we construct a cast of AI agents, each a precise model of a real executive, institution, regulator, or market force. They run forward autonomously. They form alliances. They contest positions. Some collapse. You watch from above. God View. Give you the power of predicting everything before you act.

Predict how decision-makers, markets, and populations will respond to any scenario. AI-powered multi-agent simulation grounded in your research.

Run the experiment you can't run in real life — grounded in real-world data, in 24 hours. A new screening program launches. Six months later, uptake is flat in the very ZIP codes it targeted. The post-mortem identifies trust, language, and access barriers — that a synthetic population could have surfaced before a dollar was spent. The Transfer Center handles more than half of admissions. Black-swan volume surges, staffing changes, and discharge-timing tweaks have non-linear effects on door-to-doctor time. Spreadsheets cannot model them. A documentation-streamlining initiative reduces clicks for one specialty and triples them for another. By the time the data shows it, the rollout is already…from x-research.dev

    A couple of weeks ago I was listening to a conversation with Elon Musk where he mentioned something that stuck with me. At Tesla, they don’t run every possible simulation. They focus on the ones that produce real signal. The branches that generate learning. The boring ones get pruned because they teach nothing. That idea kept rattling around in my head. If we take the simulation hypothesis seriously (as he does), maybe the same applies more broadly: only timelines that produce learning are worth exploring. The ones where people take clear positions, make bold calls, and are willing to be…

    at a pub in london, 2 weeks ago - I asked myself, if you spawned agents into a world with blank neural networks and zero knowledge of human existence — no language, no economy, no social templates — what would they evolve on their own? would they develop language? would they reproduce? would they evolve as energy dependent systems? what would they even talk about? so i decided to make myself a god, and built WERLD - an open-ended artificial life sim, where the agent's evolve their own neural architecture. Werld drops 30 agents onto a graph with NEAT neural networks that evolve their own…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
