👋 Hi there! I'm Lino Valdovinos (latent-variable).

I build Cognitive AI tools designed to make us smarter. We are drowning in information and misinformation; my goal is to build the infrastructure we need to analyze data, spot manipulation, and think clearly in real-time.

🛠 What I'm Building
I focus on tools that help you process information critically:

Epstein Ranker: An open-source forensic tool that allows anyone to instantly triage thousands of released documents. It uses local LLMs to score and visualize leads, finding the signal in the noise.

Real-Time Fallacy Detection: My original research project (115+ stars) that transcribes live audio (like presidential debates) using Whisper and detects logical fallacies in real-time overlays.

Logic Lens: The evolution of my research into a browser extension. It acts as a "Socrates in the Browser," automatically detecting fallacies as you read news or social media.

Political Pendulum: A dashboard that visualizes ideological drift in Congress, helping you see the data behind the politics.

💡 The "Compute Tip Jar"
Thank you for helping me cover the electricity and hardware costs (M3 Max / 3090) required to keep these powerful AI tools running, free, and open to the public.
