I couldn't walk for some reason.
I thought there was something wrong with my SI joint or something.
I went through physical therapy.
I did different types of scans.
I couldn't figure it out.
And eventually they found this big bump on my back and an MRI and told me it was a tumor.
Stage four bone cancer was told I had under 30% chance of survival.
It was like a two-year crazy chemotherapy, surgery, learning to walk again experience.
And when you go through something like that, it changes the Overton window of human experience and makes you appreciate like what actually matters.
And you also ask yourself, what are you going to do if you have the chance to live?
If you actually want to get through something like that, you need to be hoping for something.
And I always knew I wanted to do something very impactful if I had the chance to get through it.
And it took me a couple of years to figure out what that was going to be.
And at the same time, as I got to college and met a bunch of other people building cool tech, I got extremely excited by AI models, especially once GPT-3 came out.
And I was like, wow, this is the first model that can kind of speak English.
And these things are going to get really smart.
What happened was when GPT-4 came out, there was GPT-4V, which was the first model with image uploading.
So I went through my camera roll and I found a picture of my back with this bump on it before I was diagnosed.
And I said, hey, ChatGPT, pretend you're an expert doctor.
A patient comes in.
