# Conspiracy stays secret

**Year:** 2025  
**Category:** Art & Fun  
**Tags:** Science Explainer, Probability, Grimes Model, OpenAI GPTs  

Estimates how long conspiracies can stay secret using David Robert Grimes’ 2016 “conspiracy leak” model — in a fun, science-based way. Built as an entertainment tool, it doubles as a live demo in journalism training: Alex uses it in workshops at Bard College Berlin and with Thomson Reuters to show how AI can make fact-checking and probability reasoning genuinely engaging. Because good training should never feel like training. Platform: OpenAI GPTs.
