Building markets for a positive technological singularity.
I'm a founder and mechanism designer. I've spent years building real markets — from high-frequency trading to the world's first frequent-batch-auction derivatives exchange — and now I build market-based mechanisms for decision-making and governance at Futarchy, with Robin Hanson. I write on AI alignment, bet on the future, and I'm a father of two, Elizabeth and Louise.
