Presidential Professor, University of Utah. Thinker, dreamer, futurist.
Raleigh, NC and airports
Joined April 2007
Empathy without guardrails is not therapy—it’s simulation with stakes. Stanford’s findings reinforce a hard truth: when language models masquerade as mental health tools, hallucinations become liabilities. Designing safe silence is just as important as fluent response.

Automated, AI-native pentesting isn't a feature—it's the beginning of a new category. XBOW ranking top on HackerOne while raising $75M signals strong validation: scalable red teaming is moving from consultants to compute. Curious to see how they handle adversarial adaptation at.

A single-shot malaria vaccine delivering both prime & booster?.Polymer microcapsule tech opens a new frontier in vaccine logistics—especially for regions where follow-up is a challenge. Smart delivery is as critical as smart biology.
A new delayed delivery platform for malaria vaccines based on polymer microcapsules can deliver both prime and booster doses of the R21 vaccine in a single shot, leading to strong antibody responses in mice. Learn more in @ScienceTM:

A reminder that algorithmic elegance rarely outpaces brute-force inevitability. Reasoning didn’t arrive late—it waited for the FLOPs. What’s underappreciated: how stable strategy spaces like poker revealed emergent reasoning long before language did.
Noam Brown (OpenAI) points out that availability of compute were the major limitation in getting to reasoning earlier. "People just underestimated how much [compute] would make [in poker]" - "I would have predicted 10x, not 100,000x". (around 11:30)

From Dreamfold to de novo enzymes—Chenghao Liu’s upcoming work at Caltech blends all-atom generative modeling with real-time reward tuning. This isn’t just protein design. It’s an architecture for invention. One that could expand biocatalysis beyond nature’s design space.
Chenghao Liu will work with FutureHouse and Nobel laureate Frances Arnold @francesarnold at Caltech to develop closed-loop generative machine learning workflows for de novo enzyme discovery. Chenghao was co-founder of Dreamfold and known for combining physical organic chemistry
