About Me
Hi, I’m JR — a writer, researcher, and relentless question-asker who believes curiosity is a skill worth sharpening.
I’ve always liked taking ideas apart to see how they work — and whether they can be made better.
I created Alibis and Algorithms because we’re living in a moment where technology can both distort the truth… and help uncover it. And I’m far more interested in the uncovering part.
This site sits at the intersection of mystery, investigation, and artificial intelligence. Here, I explore how modern tools — data analysis, machine learning, digital forensics — are reshaping the way we examine:- Cold cases
- Historical mysteries
- Long-held assumptions
- Misinformation
- And the strange gray areas where stories and facts blur
But let’s be clear: AI is a tool, not an oracle.
It can identify patterns. It can process information at scale. It can surface connections humans might overlook. What it cannot do is replace judgment, ethics, or context. That’s where we still come in.
Why This Exists
We live in a world where confidence often outruns evidence.
Where algorithms shape what we see before we even know we’re looking.
Where “it feels true” too often replaces “it is true.”
Alibis and Algorithms is my response to that.
This isn’t conspiracy territory. It’s not tech worship either. It’s careful curiosity. It’s structured thinking. It’s asking better questions with better tools.
My Background
I’m a professional writer specializing in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. I study how organizations adopt AI responsibly and how strategy, ethics, and innovation intersect in the real world.
In short: I care about what AI can do — and what it shouldn’t.
What You’ll Find Here
Thoughtful deep dives.
Clear explanations.
Evidence-based analysis.
And occasionally, a raised eyebrow at how confidently wrong humans can be.
If you love mysteries, smart tools, and the thrill of challenging assumptions, you’re in the right place!
Welcome to Alibis and Algorithms.
Let’s investigate.
