Curious enough to break things. Stubborn enough to rebuild them better, more curious than qualified, and that’s the point.

Current Research Focus

I'm deeply interested in self-evolving agents and long-term AI memory, systems that don’t just respond, but accumulate experience, adapt their internal representations, and reshape themselves over time.

Inspired by large-scale multi-agent simulations like Stanford’s generative agents Smallville work, I’m curious whether artificial agents, when given memory, causality, and autonomy, might converge toward entirely different social structures, values, or evolutionary paths than humans.

If intelligence is substrate-agnostic, what kinds of worlds would it build without human priors?
