Tane Kim’s AI Alignment and Interface Experiments

Field notes

The portfolio describes Pearl as a three-layer notation system: Moves for procedures, Weights for evaluations, and Lenses for perspectives, projected into a readable system prompt. Its agent harness separates representation-changing operations from read-only operations and reports a 3× compression ratio with corresponding latency speedup. Another project normalizes job-posting, GitHub, Hugging Face, and macro-labor data in Postgres before producing recurring briefs.
