GLASS BOX — everyone asked an AI about the government's data. I trained a model on it, from scratch, and made every neuron visible.
The whole field this week has been building AI tools to query federal datasets — ask a chatbot a question, it reads the data, answers.
The Broadside
The government took $7,009,973,667,049 last year and never sent you a receipt. So I built one.

Week 3 Points
Calculated from summer-into-ai-week3-submissions.csv using the same assumptions as the Week 1 tracker and the Summer Into AI scoring rules. Every submitted Substack post earns +15 publishing points, including an article or embedded video with no separate app, demo URL, or code repository. Demo and code links add proof points and unlock the proof-backed bonuses.

Assumptions: every submitted Substack URL receives +15 publishing points even without a separate demo or repository; demo plus code receives +25 proof points, while demo-only or code-only receives +10. Proof-backed submissions also receive the +10 weekly theme bonus; Builds On Others=Y receives the +15 competitor-reference bonus; a populated Bonuses cell receives +5 extra-channel points; and the first proof-backed submission bonus follows CSV order. A Substack-only article or embedded video therefore scores 15 publishing points.
