About
Ethan Berman
Attorney, writer and techno-optimist based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The person

99% of my energy goes into practicing law, but any spare brain cells go toward digital sovereignty, deterministic computing, practical uses of agentic workflows, and how AI complements and amplifies indie creative and business work. My thoughts on all of that, plus some current events, justice, and meta-thoughts about the law, go on the Blog.
I'm experimenting with running AI locally, currently on my 5090 gaming rig for coding, video and image generation, and more. My Framework 13 Pro DIY laptop is still on pre-order, so in the meantime I resurrected an old MSI gaming laptop with Omarchy and now I'm juiced on Linux. I'm also getting back into Urbit with the help of agents (if you're also on Mars, hit me up). Now I'm building a home AI robotic companion, starting with one that lives on my desk. Follow all of it in the Lab.
I share my vibe-coded apps and builds on Projects. I love the Linux, open-source, and Omarchy communities, and I aim to keep everything I build light, useful, and customizable. Input and collaboration are welcome.
In the era of artificial/superior intelligence, epistemology, ontology, and cybernetics are mandatory reading if you want to keep your priority-being status.
