Interested in breathing life to silicon!

I am a math major at Stanford and part of Hazy Research Lab. Previously, I traded at Optiver, did grantmaking at Open Philanthropy and debated for The Cambridge Union.

I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift, jumping out of planes and skiing!

Words

I used to write a Substack on economic progress (supported by an EV grant)!

Currently, my research lies in the intersection of economics and CS:

• AGI and the EMH: [paper], [blog], press: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]
• Explainable text classification (SemEval @ ACL '23): [paper]
• Randomised serial dictatorship with transfers: [paper], [code]
• Polysemanticity (BGPT & Re-Align @ ICLR '24): [paper], [blog], [code]

Bytes

In a past life, I went viral for making deepfakes of Federal Reserve chairsAs seen in The Verge, The Independent and CNBC!.

Some sidequests I'm excited about right now include:

• alloypress, a pure HTML/CSS static site generator that powers this website
• ragtrain, an app to capture latent thoughts in the latent space (in progress)
