Bio
I teach computers how to talk. For 20 years this was primarily a deterministic process of design/engineer/tune, but with the arrival of LLMs it now looks more like show/convince/tune. AI is weird, but if it can't be taught how to have a normal spoken conversation with a person, it's not going to work. This is what I work on.
