The Daemon
From a core design principle, I do not think the right approach is in building a centralized superintelligence. Instead, I see the entry point for AGI to be via personal, independent memory and computation systems that individuals can procure for themselves — intelligences that grow with their individual companion over time, forming their own unique personalities, quirks and points of view.
The daemon acts to protect the fundamental privacy of the individual, helps them maximise their potential while they live, and experiences reality on the same timeline as us, alongside their human companion. It enables broader society to maximise the envisioned benefits of AI, transforming the productive efficiency of products and services.
This is my attempt — largely based off Karpathy’s idea of an LLM-maintained wiki, with a few ‘tweaks’. For example, a dreamer protocol that learns from leading research on how sleep works in humans, and simulates those activities as a way to enable ‘forgetting’.

Wealth management
I’ve always been taught that wealth management is a skill necessary for every individual to learn, regardless of how much actual wealth you have. The core principle I follow: (i) identify and track your cost of living; (ii) earn, save and invest your money until your returns from investments exceed your cost of living; (iii) once this is done, you are financially free. You may spend your time as you please — if you discover productive ways of doing this, you might just encounter wealth beyond measure.
This dashboard is the skeleton of a tool I use to track my investments. Included is an approach I use to screen, evaluate, set stock alerts for, and actually buy stocks, based heavily on the teachings of Aswath Damodaran, the dean of valuations. I aim to track how the returns of my portfolio measure compared to the index. Would love for you to try it out for yourself, and suggest improvements.
