Projects, studies, and creative explorations in the art and practice of artificial intelligence.
This is an interactive tool that reveals how fragile financial stability really is. See your income compared to SNAP eligibility thresholds and your state's median income. Explore life scenarios—from job loss to medical emergencies—and understand how quickly circumstances can change.

This project was born from a simple observation: every time there's news about SNAP benefits, the comments section fills with judgment. "Get a job." "People just want handouts." But the reality is far more nuanced.
Most Americans live closer to the edge than they realize. A sudden layoff, a medical bill, a broken car—any of these can change everything. This tool isn't about judgment. It's about awareness. It's a mirror that shows us how thin the line really is between being stable and needing help.
Built with real data. Designed for empathy. Because understanding shouldn't be controversial.
