I am interested in advancing theories and technologies and incidentally making money with them. I believe that strong artificial intelligence (AI) can be realized and will trigger the technological singularity. And I believe that we need a holistic approach for strong AI instead of the prevalent divide and conquer one. I sometimes believe that God does not play dice but still hope that my thinking is not an illusion. I believe Finance creates value but most finance guys do not. I believe existing programming languages are too flexible to be used well.
