Whysice is a studio of one. Built deliberately.
It started with a question, and a dog named Icy. The why is the posture. The icy is the warmth. Together they make a practice that pauses before it decides.
Samantha Clayton is an AI systems architect, prompt engineer, and AI evaluator. Forensic psychology trained. The work is stress-testing AI reasoning. Detecting hallucination, calibrating confidence, building systems that know what they don’t know.
Forensic psychology teaches you to notice when reasoning breaks down under pressure. When conclusions are shaped by motivation rather than evidence. When confidence substitutes for calibration. When a coherent narrative is hiding a logical gap. The same lens, turned on AI.
Currently. Directing AI at Seeds of Success, a 501(c)(3) building tools for child protection organizations. Evaluating models and contributing to TerminalBench at Snorkel AI. Annotating instruction-following at Alignerr.
Honest about the edges. Not a deep ML researcher. Strongest in nonprofit and social-impact contexts, still growing in enterprise.
This site is the open notebook. Some of it is finished. Some of it is thinking out loud.
