Turing Test Live

A free browser game of the imitation game: as interrogator you question two witnesses — one human, one a current language model such as GPT-4 or Claude — and guess which is which, with identities revealed at the end of each round. You can also play as a witness.

Why I recommend it: Free and the fastest way to build real intuition about what current models sound like — worth twenty minutes before you rely on spotting AI text by feel. It proves nothing about consciousness or intelligence; it measures whether you can be fooled in a short chat, which is a fact about the conversation format as much as about the model.

From the site: Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. Search across a wide variety of disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions.

Why I recommend it: The fastest way to check whether a claim in a news article traces back to an actual paper. Set an alert on a topic and it will email you new work.

Pi

A terminal-based coding agent you run locally to read, write and refactor code from the command line.

From the site: A terminal-based coding agent

Why I recommend it: If you already live in a terminal, this is a lighter way to try agentic coding than a full IDE.
