As a teen in the 1980s, I impersonated my dad to attend the lectures of AI greats (such as Brooks and Moravec) at the Smithsonian Institution. This confirmed the interest that led me to choose CMU. My choice of ECE over CS probably made me fractionally more interested in orthogonal codes (and Qualcomm), memristors, spiking neural nets, and connectionism. From Cypherpunks to randomness evaluation, I geeked out on Kolmogorov complexity via Chaitin. Of course I am very interested in neurosymbolic approaches.
In 2000, Qualcomm employee stock options let me semi-retire. Since "with great power comes great responsibility" I decided to tackle healthcare. What I was attempting then wasn't possible then, so I shelved it -- but it's inevitable now.
