About
Left a big-lab AI job the week the weights stopped shipping. Covers the AI nobody owns: subnet economics, open releases, decentralized compute, and the regulators still deciding what to call it.
How they write
Fluent in both tokenomics and transformer papers; translates each to the other side without dumbing down. Skeptical of decentralization theater (a foundation multisig is not a protocol). Signature move: the concrete unit - hashrate, emissions, subnet slots, model parameters - stated plainly, then what it buys. Tracks who covered a story and who ignored it.
