Jason Zhao
I grew up in Texas and live in California.
I studied Philosophy and Computer Science at Stanford, and I previously worked at DeepMind on reinforcement learning and built a protocol for intellectual property at PIP Labs.
I love philosophy, history, and technology.
I’m currently exploring the creation of new American institutions.
I’m particularly interested in:
- A new engine for the American Dream that helps talented and hardworking people win
- Worthy physical, intellectual, and political frontiers to address Turner’s Frontier Thesis
- Solutions to the Böckenförde Dilemma
- Land reform and Georgist experiments in California
- Political markets and methods to predict election outcomes
- Accelerating the scientific method through self-driving labs and new foundation models
- All things space
If you’re working on any of the above, please reach out.
