// onism — the specific frustration of being stuck in just one body and one place at a time; the unfortunate awareness of how little of the world you’ll experience.
My life's work is to build machines that can continually discover, learn, and understand the universe. Our biology may prevent us from experiencing the true nature of the universe firsthand, but it will never keep us from building machines that can.
I dropped out of high school at 15 to enroll at UW Seattle early. I believe this was the best decision of my life, and I highly recommend doing the same if you feel limited in the pursuit of your life's work.
Right now, I'm in Palo Alto at SpaceXAI working on robotics and computer-use. I spent time at Vercept to help build the future of computer work, Aurora to pioneer self-driving and autonomous trucking, and Ai2 to work on embodied AI.
