My name is Jacob Rintamaki.
These days I [spoilers] a lot.
I studied engineering physics at Stanford and worked as a SWE intern for
Elad Gil.
I’m fascinated by extremes, frontier technology, the allocation problem, and oceans.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio.

“Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.” - Arthur Schopenhauer
"John, venture capital, that's not a real job. It's like being a real estate agent." - Andy Grove to John Doerr
"My shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter, because I have forgotten how to dance." - Londo Mollari
"There was a period of time when we were starting OpenAI when I wasn’t exactly sure how the progress would continue. But I had one very explicit belief, which is: one doesn’t bet against deep learning. Somehow, every time you run into an obstacle, within six months or a year researchers find a way around it." - Ilya Sutskever
"The best entrepreneurs know this: every great business is built around a secret that's hidden from the outside. A great company is a conspiracy to change the world; when you share your secret, the recipient becomes a fellow conspirator". - Peter Thiel
"Construction of extended structures with three-dimensional covalent bonding may be easy to conceive and might be readily accomplished, but only by using tools that do not yet exist. [25] In other words, the tool structures and other components cannot yet be built, but they can be computationally modeled. Modeling the thermodynamic stability of a structure (showing that it can, in principle, exist) does not tell one how to build it, and these arguments do not yet constitute a research strategy or a research plan." - NNI 2006 Triennial Review
