It would be easy to share technical papers or abstract theories. Instead, I thought I'd share something more valuable—the experiences and ideas that keep me up at night, the questions that drive everything we're building.
Thoughts
INFLECTIONS: The Moments That Shaped Everything
The Stimuli Problem
How my grandfathers taught me that human potential is everywhere—it just needs the right spark at the right moment. Why democratizing those sparks might be AI's greatest purpose.
Reading Aloud in a Silent World
What my mother's library taught me about the irreplaceable magic of slow, immersive learning. Why AI should amplify human connection, not optimize it away.
The Day I Understood Scale
The expensive lesson from almost losing Golmaal to "the river effect." Why consumer products can't iterate their way to success—they need conviction from day one.
THE FUTURE WE'RE BUILDING
The Last Human Job
Why there won't be one. When AI handles necessity, humans will finally discover what we're really for: being beautifully, irrationally, boundlessly human.
The Labs and Their Positioning
The AI labs are building critical infrastructure for humanity—but who's building the bridge to actual human needs? On symbiosis, token economies, and why we need both capability and empathy.
The Empathy Machine
The next breakthrough in AI won't be superintelligence—it'll be technology that finally understands what you really meant to say. On building AI that gets the layers beneath our words.
FORM FACTORS OF THE FUTURE
Beyond the Black Rectangle
We've perfected screens for fifty years. The next leap isn't a better rectangle—it's intelligence that shares our physical space and adapts to us, not the reverse.
THE MEANING QUESTION
Will Life Lose Meaning After AGI?
The question everyone's afraid to ask, explored through gardens, marathons, and birthday songs. Why AGI won't drain meaning from life—it'll finally let us discover what meaning really is.
