Thanks again for having us.
The backstory of AE is basically back in twenty sixteen I realized that I had the luxury th of living off my wife's salary and never having to work again.
That freed me up to think more deeply about the long term future of technology and humanity.
One thing I thought a lot about is that I sometimes like to think long complicated thoughts that take a while to convert into words.
By the time I convert them into words, I
might say something entirely different from what I imagined in my head.
humans aren't very good at communicating to their future selves, let alone other people, compared to what they might be with better tools of thought.
I've I've it I've considered that
There might be a low probability that within my lifetime humanity's primary mode of interaction with computers might come to be via brand to computer interfaces.
If that does come about, it would be very good to try to make it come about in a way that's more agency increasing for the end user instead of manipulating people to do things they don't want to do and interrupting them mid thought with ads and having Mark Zuckerberg own the extensions of their thoughts.
And two, it might be a way
To make humans sufficiently smart and wise enough to be better able to solve some of humanity's greater greatest challenges, including solving AI alignment.
And I continue to think there is a possibility we need substantial human augmentation to solve the alignment problem.
I decided to create a profitable bootstrapped software and AI product development consulting business, building products for clients without taking any money from investors.
uh we like to build products that increase what we talk about as human agency, with the idea being that it's better business sense in the long run to increase your end users' agency, makes users like you more, want to use you more, spend more money and refer their friends to do the same taking that same philosophy with the work we do with clients and
making great value for them and having them want more work and refer their friends led us to grow the consulting business to over a hundred and sixty people.
We took the profits of the consulting business to invest in building our own agency increasing startups.
So we built and sold the first one of those and plan to incubate quite a lot more in the future as well.
We take the capital that we produce from these businesses and invest them originally in trying to build maximally agency increasing BCI software without profit motive to help people with neurological injury and disease increase their agency, but also in the future make the nature of human existence substantially better and make us smart enough to solve the alignment problem.
The the consulting business grew, we sold the first startup, we made a name for ourselves in the the BCI world and worked with top BCI.
