It is up to us to change that.

Hello.

Hey, I am Tyler. I spend most of my time working on technology that is on the cusp of being adopted. For the last 5 years that has taken the form of applied AI consulting (strategy, prototyping, product launch) for generative AI and knowledge systems startups. Previously, I have worked across mobile, web, and supercomputing in a range of roles from engineering to marketing.

Systems to surface hidden assumptions and make stronger predictions.

In a world full of abundant creative ability, curation and taste will emerge as key points of valuable capture. Enabling curation at scale across many domains requires understanding and automating the factors making up great choices. I focus on full-process LLM pipelines versus synchronous copilots.

CURATION BY DIMINISHING RETURNS

"The world of tasks doing work—productive, generative AI work, generative intelligent work—that market size is enormous. It’s measured in trillions."

–Jensen Huang

Exploration.

This site is designed to share my open-ended explorations. Setting personal goals is not my agenda, instead I simply want to work on interesting stuff while staying curious for as long as possible. I am endlessly fascinated with how the brain works and how people communicate thought. Working around SDAM (lack of autobiographical memories) and aphantasia motivates a meaningful amount of my work.

Now

I am working on explaining and applying AI.

Current work includes curating and categorizing business-use AI as well as strategy development for public markets risk characterization. Concepts that I am specifically interested in 2024: AI intent capture and routing systems. Cognition & memory characterization.

How can we understand and share what happens within our minds? Can we build new systems to reduce investment risk? Are there viable alternatives to VC? How do we make learning more fun?
