Hey, I’m Anshuman 👨💻
Currently trying to answer two questions:
- How do we build intelligence that actually understands us?
- And what kind of life is worth living while doing that?
I’m a CS undergrad from India, working toward a life that blends research, aesthetics, and meaning — the kind where your code runs, your coffee’s hot, and your ideas might just matter.
🔭 Right now, I’m focused on:
-
📘 Mastering ML foundations
(CS229, CS231N, CS224N — the real deal, not the YouTube-summary kind) -
🧪 Building & replicating ML projects
Especially in probabilistic models and value alignment — things that can break, fail, or surprise me. -
✍️ Documenting my learning publicly
Not because I want to be an “influencer,” but because clarity scales. -
🌍 Applying for elite research internships in Europe
ETH Zurich is the dream. But I’m building my way in — with code, ideas, and this blog.
🧠 What keeps me up at night?
- Alignment, consciousness, cognition
- Simulation theory and Gödel’s incompleteness
- The beauty of first principles
- Whether intelligence is actually understandable
🎯 Long term?
I want to contribute to AI that’s safe, elegant, and aligned with human values.
Not just optimized for clicks — but for meaning.
“Obsession is just direction without permission.”
If you’re working on alignment, ML research, or just love building cool things —
reach out. I don’t bite.
