Excited to share that I've left Character AI to start a new company.
I'm building a frontier AI lab and public benefit corp, bringing together work from my PhD at UC Berkeley, Google DeepMind, and Character AI. It's the culmination of my life's work at the intersection of youth empowerment and AI.
We're currently in stealth and hiring our founding team, including a founding engineer and designer.
If this resonates, or if someone exceptional comes to mind, please reach out or send them my way.

Best use of "appallingly," by @annawiener, in @newyorker:
"There were ... nostalgic shirts with vintage lettering that read ' ’76' and, appallingly, ' ’93.' "

Is it weird that BMW, Porsche, and Lamborghini don't have @F1 teams, but an energy drink has two?
