I build with AI, and I write fiction about where it’s taking us.

I'm a serial founder and operator who watched AI erase five years of work in about three months after GPT-3 came out. Before that I trained and worked as a chemical engineer, and long before that I was already reading and writing science fiction. This has given me a strange vantage point from which to ride out our shambling takeoff toward the singularity: I know how strange things are going to get, and I've experienced firsthand just how quickly they're going to get there. I write hard sci-fi, speculative fiction, and what you might call techno-thrillers exploring our destination, and when I'm not doing that I'm trying to keep up with it all by building things, writing about them, and finding smarter people who don't mind me borrowing their shoulders for the view.
