My work explores two frontiers: Bivology, the science of how life emerges from form, and PrivateAI, building trustworthy AI systems for a future of smartglasses and ambient computing. Both ask the same question: how can technology serve humanity without losing what makes us human?
Bivology (V2) is hosted here inside jimlauletta.com; the classic site remains live at Bivology.com. PrivateAI projects explore privacy-first AI for the age of smartglasses and ambient assistants.
At United Airlines I invented the Modem Sharing Device and helped architect the Apollo data communications network. I later founded Apparat Inc. (NewDos for TRS-80; IBM PC add-on boards), reaching about $25M in sales over 9 years. Today I’m exploring AI and Bivology — still learning and building.
Version 2 brings clarity and focus: a concise essay, runnable code, and a roadmap for experiments. It’s designed to make the threshold from “organics” to life-like systems more tangible.
