In His Own Words
About him
"Some people see things as they are and ask why; I dream things that never were and ask why not."
If that quote describes you too, then we’ll probably get along. If you look at it and ask “Why not both?", then we’ll definitely get along.
What should you know about me? I'm an AI researcher at Google, trying to figure out how cognition works, and how to make sure robots don't kill us all. Outside that, I love exploring. Originally from New Zealand, I’ve lived on four continents so far, and visited 40 countries. My favourite travel experience was sitting on a mountaintop in Jordan drinking tea and talking with two Bedouin tribesmen. My life will be very different to theirs, but I hope to always be as happy as they are. (So far, so good!)
What I love exploring most, though, is new ideas. Growing up, I was inspired by science fiction and fantasy novels, because they were windows into totally different worlds. I still am, but now I read a lot more nonfiction: economics, psychology, physics, history… Basically, I want to understand everything, at least well enough to see the patterns of how all this knowledge hangs together. The downside is that I get excited about new projects too easily. (The latest one: writing a book!)
About his ideal match
I value honest and communicative relationships very highly. The whole point of a relationship, to me, is that you have someone who's on your team, who's got your back. I'm pretty flexible about what my relationships actually look like - casual or serious, closed or open - as long as we're good at making those sorts of decisions together. In the long term, though, I'm particularly looking for someone who’s both a doer and a dreamer, like I am.
