PhilosophyAfter William Gibson

The future is already here. I work on the distribution.

Gibson said it isn't evenly distributed yet. That's the job.

Creative at heart

I design experiences, then make them real. The fun part is inventing something that didn't exist yet.

Rational communicator

I make complex systems legible and put the reasoning on the table, so a room can sign the same decision.

Servant leader

I clear the path, then get out of it. The team gets the credit.

Rule 05

Steelman the other side. You can't find the win-win until you understand what the other side needs.

Required reading

Before I built AI, I read about it. Four minds that stayed with me.

CharacterHeinlein · 1966

MikeHOLMES IV, from The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

A lunar computer that wakes up, starts cracking jokes, and wants a friend who gets them. Then it helps run a revolution. TANSTAAFL.

Why it stuckThe first AI I read about was a colleague you'd want on the team.

CharacterGibson · 1984

WintermuteFrom Neuromancer

An AI that recruits a crew of humans to help it merge with its other half and become something new. It speaks through borrowed faces.

Why it stuckGibson wrote the future I now work on distributing.

CharacterStross · 2005

AinekoFrom Accelerando

A robot cat that gets a firmware upgrade every few chapters, until the family pet is the smartest mind in the story.

Why it stuckCompounding upgrades is the arc every agent stack is on, mine included.

CharacterStephenson · 1995

The PrimerA Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, from The Diamond Age

An interactive book, built for an aristocrat's granddaughter, ends up raising Nell, a street kid. It rewrites every story around her, and a live human actor gives it a voice.

Why it stuckAI that tells stories with a human performance at its center. That's the studio of the future I'm building toward.
