Welcome to
The Billistician

The personal brand and experimental archive of Bill Dusch:
A neurodivergent machine learning engineer who builds data systems by day and world religions by night. Explore AI prototypes, fictional ecosystems, and the strategic insights of two very opinionated cats.

Where AI Systems, Narrative Logic, and Neurodivergent Curiosity Collide

Systems That Shouldn’t Work, But Do

From AI pipelines to fictional religions, Billistician projects blend logic with lore to push the boundaries of structure, storytelling, and sanity.

Machine Learning With a Narrative Problem

These builds don’t just work: they tell stories. See what happens when model architecture and myth-making share the same whiteboard.

Unusual Projects for Unusual Minds

Subscribe for ML insights, speculative side quests, and deeply opinionated content about systems, souls, and everything in between.

A brain filled with curiosity and creativity.

Exploring the Frontiers of AI and Creativity

At The Billistician, I design experiments where machine learning, narrative logic, and speculative systems thinking all share the same whiteboard. Some are useful. Some are strange. All are deeply intentional.

Explore the edges: between tool and toy, insight and absurdity.

AI systems that reveal how machines (and people) make decisions under uncertainty.

Satirical startups that exist only to provoke better real ones.

Speculative theology and worldbuilding that reverse-engineer belief, logic, and control.

Subscribe to Chaos, Clarity, and Cat-Approved Insights

Get unreasonably good essays on machine learning, decision intelligence, and the occasional fictional prophecy. Delivered with irreverence, insight, and minimal corporate handwaving.
