Gwern Branwen's personal research website containing long-form essays, statistical analyses, and experiments on psychology, AI, pharmacology, and prediction.

Why it is useful

One of the most intellectually rigorous personal websites on the internet — the essays are deeply sourced, statistically careful, and often cover topics that mainstream publications won't touch with adequate depth. The work on forecasting, AI scaling, and dark net markets has been cited by academic researchers. Provides a model for what serious long-form thinking looks like outside institutional constraints.
