Dancer. Builder. @typesafeai. Prev: @AIatMeta










I'm starting a new project. Working on what I consider to be the most important problem: building thinking machines that adapt and continuously learn. We have incredibly talent dense founding team + are hiring for engineering, ops, design. Join us: adaptionlabs.ai


We’re excited to announce $500M in new funding to accelerate our global expansion and build the next generation of enterprise AI technology! We are also welcoming two additions to our leadership team: Joelle Pineau as Chief AI Officer and Francois Chadwick as Chief Financial Officer. cohere.com/blog/august-20…


Everyone teaches how to go from 0 to 1, but no one shows us how to go from 1 back to 0 Today, I fired myself without a plan, but felt peace and pride wash over me. It’s strange, but I can’t shake the feeling that life brought me here on purpose. Like it’s been trying to tell me something all along. It spoke through my unhappiness, even when I had the “perfect” setup: the best position, a great salary, and work tied to my passion. Something still felt wrong. It spoke through my conversations with friends holding Wharton MBAs and JDs, showing me that the race for success never really ends. It spoke through books like Four Thousand Weeks and Ego is the Enemy, which made me realize that my passion had been consumed by ego. I no longer grounded in reality. Walking away without a plan is terrifying, especially as an immigrant with little savings. But I feel honesty in myself, accepting that life is an unpredictable adventure. I feel confidence in myself, trusting who I am today, and trusting life to reveal the next step. I’m proud that I’ve held my standard, honored my values, and stood up for what I want. Ego can be stolen. Confidence must be earned. I’ve earned mine, through working on my technical skill, through the mental and physical resilience I built in my last jobless period. Fear still visits, but she’s an old acquaintance now. I know how to answer when she knocks. Some see my journey as a string of bad luck. One setback after another. I see it differently. Outright failure is far better than mediocre success. I’m glad I took the hit early, rather than dragging the weight with me for years. And strangely, in this moment of scarcity, I feel abundance. A 60-day visa countdown may look like a ticking bomb, but to me, it’s 60 days of freedom, to explore, to create, to advance. I don’t know what’s coming next. I don’t know where I’ll be. I’m from 1 to 0 again. But I do know this: a new door will open. And I genuinely believe.

@GoogleDeepMind @DynamicWebPaige @zjasper @hyperbolic_labs @boltdotnew @EricSimons A warm shoutout to @JustJamieJoyce, the queen of freedom of thought herself for speaking alongside @hackgoofer, proud winner of the last AI for Thought mind merge :D Good luck to everyone!!

I’ve been reaching out to a select few friends to cowork together on weekends just because I really enjoy working when other people are working (maybe this is why I love Hackathons) - DM me (if you are a friend) and want to cowork with me in SF on weekends. 🥰❤️
