Problems I care about
Things I think about a lot.
▶Making AI products people actually want to use
Most AI demos are spectacular. Most AI products are disappointing. I care about the gap between what models can do in a lab and what they reliably do in production — and how to close it.
▶Recommendation systems that respect user intent
RecSys at scale optimizes for engagement by default. I spent time at Twitch thinking about the tension between what users click versus what actually makes them happy. That problem is unsolved and matters.
▶AI tooling for builders
Evals, debugging, observability, deployment — the infrastructure layer for building reliable AI products is still being invented. Who builds the equivalent of the relational database for the LLM era?
▶What becomes possible when everyone has great AI assistance?
Most "AI productivity" tools are local optimizations. The more interesting question is what new things become possible for people who were previously blocked by lack of access to expertise — medical, legal, financial, technical.
