Today, I’m launching a deeply personal project. I’m betting $100M that we can help computer scientists create more upside impact for humanity. Built for and by researchers, including Jeff Dean & Joelle Pineau on the board, Laude Institute catalyzes research with real-world impact.

What if you took a 1-D "random" walk where in the nth step you switched directions if n is prime? What if you took a 2-D walk where you go up, down, left or right based on the last digit of the next prime? Alberto Fraile and Daniel FernĆ”ndez guest post. blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2025/06/the-di…

In 1979, Hofstadter first published Gƶdel, Escher, Bach connected a mathematician, artist and composer connected by self-reference and paradoxes. But who can we choose to capture the true beauty and complexity of computation? blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2025/07/turing…
