I said hey. My name’s George. I do stuff I care about, some of it is fun, most of it is challenging.
- Slab – a daily puzzle game about perception and cognitive frames
- here’s a technical writeup
- Splitbound – meditative writings towards personal change
- Guqin – an ancient Chinese instrument
- Bookbinding – making homes for words
Years ago I studied and taught math, made a game company with my friend Benjamin to create Block Party and later a suite of AI party games like Farsketched, and worked in AI research on unsupervised learning from video and profiling XLA on TPUs. In 2011 I trained neural networks for music visualization while studying math at Stanford and after I left in 2013 I scraped the net to build language models for poetry. I was last employed by GiveDirectly writing software to get money to people in extreme poverty.
Let’s build the agalmic future together.
