Barely Human Labs

I’m Jake — a researcher and writer creating minimalist stick-figure animations that explore inconvenient truths about technology, society, business, and human behavior. Each video combines deep research, storytelling, and simple visuals to break down complex ideas and reveal the hidden consequences behind the choices we make. AI is used here as a tool, not a replacement. It helps with parts of production like research validation and script refinement, but the ideas, analysis, conclusions, humor, and storytelling are human-made. New videos every Tuesday and Saturday. Subscribe for independent research, thoughtful analysis, and stories that challenge the obvious.
