Wow, @WSJ is covering NeurIPS social events now 😂 https://t.co/FqsqyUZcNT

Kasparov’s Law: A weak human + AI + great process beats even the strongest AI alone. The future isn’t about better algorithms, it’s about better human–machine workflows.

One year ago today, the Franklin Fire forced us to flee our Malibu home with zero warning. Amidst the chaos, I realized our insurance had been dropped months prior, and the new policy didn't cover fire damage. I frantically called more than 20 insurance companies to secure a

TBH, @Tesla customer support is the worst I've ever seen. There's no human to respond, and the phone automated system is terrible

We secured $2M to build the future of AI in transportation. We aren't allowed to start. I am proud to share that our team was awarded a ~$2M USDOT SBIR Phase II contract. We are ready to build the next generation of AI for Transportation Planning and Design (AI TPD) initiative

Ever wondered if quantum computers can finally crack the remote sensing data bottleneck?  Honestly, I think we’re closer than ever.  🛰️⚛️ I’m excited to share that our recent paper, "Quantum Machine Learning With Limited Data: A Remote Sensing Perspective," has been published at

Chinese academic institutions and US tech companies had a large presence in AI papers at #NeurIPS2025!

NeurIPS 2025: The Year AI Got Real (and Physical) I just wrapped up following NeurIPS 2025, and if I had to summarize the vibe in San Diego this year, it’s this: We are moving from "chatbots" to agents, from "internet text" to multimodal reality, and from "replacement" to

Nothing is easy in life... but everything is doable with efforts

The future isn't just bigger. It's smarter, smaller, and synthetic #NeurIPS2025

We are having the wrong AI nightmares. 🚨 At #NeurIPS2025, Zeynep Tufekci warns that AI isn’t a "small human on a chip", it is a Plausibility Engine. The real danger isn't AGI; it's that we are destroying the "load-bearing friction" (proof of effort & authenticity) that holds

I’ll be at NeurIPS this week and we are hiring an ML engineer at @OpalAIhq.

Goals as Reference Points. Marathon finish times cluster at round numbers (3:00, 4:00, 5:00…) because runners sprint to “beat the goal” and relax once they cross it. Goals act as reference points: we push hard to hit them, then ease off. No bonus required — just a clear target.

Olympic bronze medalists are often happier than silver medalists — not because of the result, but because of the reference point. Silver compares upward (“I missed gold”). Bronze compares downward (“I made the podium”). Satisfaction is shaped more by imagination than reality. The

Most decisions aren’t made through deep analysis , they’re shaped by the architecture around them. Here are four ideas from Choice Architecture that dramatically influence decision-making: 🔹 No Design → People default to friction and inconsistency 🔹 Plausible Paths → Early

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Losing my brother Shervin this year reminded me how precious our time is with the people we love. No milestone matters more than family, love, presence, and connection. Grateful for my family, friends, team, and this community. ❤️ #Thanksgiving #Gratitude

Generative AI is not creative, but it's an incredible tool for creativity

Entrepreneurship isn’t about money or fame. It’s about turning chaos into clarity and creating something that never existed before.

I’ll be at NeurIPS next week! Let’s connect and discuss multimodal AI systems for physical environments
