Announcing Aver, the first AI safety research project at Nicholic
The first note on the research page, and the first piece of AI safety research published here — including the fact that none of it has been run yet.

Announcements from Nicholic, dated as they happen. Not a list of what changed on this website.
Using social media safely, and not making it worse for anyone else
What to do while something is happening, where to report each kind of harm, and the half of safety that belongs to everyone who is posting.
What this is
Things Nicholic announces: something published, something decided, something that turned out to be wrong and was corrected. There is no publishing schedule, so gaps here are real information rather than a content failure.
What does not go here, and this is the harder half: changes to the website, to TruXSocial, or to Nerdy Companion. A page merged, a route renamed, a control added, a script removed — those are a record of work, not an announcement, and for the first two weeks of this site they were mixed in with everything else. Someone arriving to find out what this company had decided had to read past them.
On 18 August 2026 every one of them came off this page. They were not deleted: a dated public statement that vanishes without trace is the thing the transparency page names as a warning sign, so the full text of each is kept where the person who runs Nicholic can still read it. Every old address still works and lands here.
