For fifteen years, the Cosmic Tusk has been a place where I share breaking discoveries, overlooked evidence, and the occasional sharp elbow aimed at the complacency of the scientific mainstream. The archive is deep — nearly 1,000 posts written entirely by me, with no AI assistance. In recent years, my post frequency has slipped — not because I lost interest, but because the Cosmic Summit and other projects pulled my time and attention into the real‑world trenches.

That’s changing.

I’ve brought in a new tool to help me keep the Tusk flowing: AI assistance. Not as a ghostwriter, and not as a replacement for my own thinking — but as an instrument, like a telescope or a mass spectrometer, that extends human ability. And importantly, this AI has been “trained” in my voice by reading those thousand original posts, so it works with a deep sense of the tone, priorities, and style that brought you here in the first place.

Think of it like this: just as scientific tools leverage our understanding of the physical world to transform it, AI helps me sift research faster, sharpen the presentation, and get important material in front of you without letting it sit in my drafts folder for months.

What You Can Expect

  • More frequent posts on Younger Dryas research, catastrophic history, and the rest of the Tusk’s bailiwick.
  • Deeper dives with better‑organized sources, figures, and links.
  • Faster turnaround on breaking news and fresh analysis without sacrificing accuracy.

About Voice & Authenticity

I still enjoy writing, and always will. You can feel comfortable knowing I’m balancing two priorities:

  1. Providing breaking news and fresh understanding on the topics we care about.
  2. Remaining authentic to my voice and skills, so what you read here still sounds like it came from me — because it does.

The goal is to do my best to accomplish both — with AI as a partner in the process. This means more frequent posts, deeper dives, and better‑organized archives, without losing the edge and curiosity that’s been here from the start.

Welcome to the next chapter of the Tusk. Let’s see where it takes us.
