Who made this?
I'm Aristotelis Economides. While I originally studied engineering, I now work as a Software Engineer at Google, where I build tooling for AI research and help accelerate our AI infrastructure. I've spent the last 3 years working with AI from all angles: as a researcher, an engineer building tools for researchers, and as an everyday user trying to make AI actually useful.
P.S.: I’d love to hear your thoughts after reading.
