Towards the prudent use of technology in society

I entered industry a couple of years ago at NVIDIA after a radical conversion from atheism to Catholicism. I had arrived at what was once my dream, but quickly became disillusioned as I watched the people around me imprudently bringing technologies into the world in ways that hurt people. Whether it was the attention economy or generative AI, which I immediately suspected would lead to AI pornography, I realized that these monsters were entering the world and that the people unleashing them did not care about their effects, so long as they could retain their status and money.

Once I thought through the implications of this, I became disgusted with myself and the system I was contributing to. I ran away from Silicon Valley with a secret prayer of one day being able to fight this rotten system head on, but knew the time was not yet to do so.

A couple of months ago, it became evident that the time had finally come. I quit my job with the intent to dedicate my life towards tackling these problems. Soon after, I cofounded Camino with Alex to take on digital and pornography addiction, with the broader goal of one day enabling the prudent use of technology altogether.
