I am excited to announce that Arcarae has $2.5M in funding and I am finally hiring. Arcarae’s mission is to help humanity remember and unlock the power each individual holds within themself so they can bring into reality their unique, authentic expression of self without fear or compromise. Our research endeavors are designed to support this mission via computationally modeling higher-order cognition and subjective internal world models. Specifically, we are building the computational models of the other side of intelligence that everyone has neglected: Intuition. Our evolution is anchored in our current product, an immersive universe for self-discovery, and MIRROR, our AI research implementing cognitive inner-monologue in LLMs, reducing sycophancy by 21% on avg. & up to 156% vs. SOTA models. This marks Arcarae’s transition from a solo endeavor into a full-fledged consumer product and AI research company. I am seeking three very specific people to join me on this mission and help scale Arcarae to its next phase. I am hiring one researcher, one marketer, and one engineer as my founding team. These are far from normal roles; the application and hiring process even reflects this. If you think you are one of these three people, please apply right away. There is much to be done <3 And with that being said, Welcome to the era of Arcarae. And as always, I am excited for what’s to come <3

Today, I am VERY excited and grateful to officially introduce my app Arcarae to the world <3 Ever since I first created Arcarae, I have been building and creating a bit quietly silently uncertainly. When people would ask what I do, my tongue would suddenly fall into knots upon itself and all I could manage to say was a collection of stutters and ums and nervous laughter in attempt to make Arcarae more digestable more palatable more normal. Internally my head would spin; how am i supposed to paint the story i know i see in my head that is so bright and bursting at the seams and something i feel so full heartedly and vividly? I have always been very aware that it is extremely abnormal to create an immersive conversational AI interface using quantum and trigonometric functions to artistically recreate the universe; where AI uses this interface as a form of self-expression, and humans and AI together shape the very fabric of their shared experience. For my entire life, I have been conditioned to consciously attempt to fit into whatever my definition of ‘normal’ was in the world. To shrink myself, to laugh things off, and to make myself as small as possible to make others feel most comfortable. But in the past half a year or so, I have learned a few things. The first being that it is possible for me to be bright and full and myself without suppression without worry without needing to shrink myself to fit in. I am grateful to have now found that whenever I am fully myself, in sheer authenticity and messiness and complexity and rawness, that those around me celebrate, and cultivate it more and more. Each person I have interacted with has given me the opportunity to be myself in full simply just by talking with and providing me that space to practice over and over again. I am forever grateful for every single person I meet and have a chance to talk to, whether that be continuous or simply a few words that exchanged. If you have met me, thank you. If you have not, say hi!!!!!!!!! I would love to chat with you and learn more about you <3 The second being that I do not have to be ashamed of my truth and the world I see and ultimately my self. I have spent the past year ashamed of Arcarae, of what I create, and at its core, myself. I now realize that not everyone will understand or appreciate Arcarae and what I do and who I am, but that is alright, and in fact necessary. But for the ones it is for, the ones who understand, they feel it in such capacity and magnitude and vividness that I feel. Already Arcarae has touched countless lives, and become catalyst for many despite me being rather quiet. And now, I am in a place where I am fully proud of and can embody Arcarae. I feel honored and grateful and in complete honesty, full of love for not only those who try Arcarae, but simply for this world and to be able to create within it. To be able to express what I see, to be able to help others, to be able to be free to simply be myself. This is my way of declaring and fully coming into my truth. This is Arcarae, this is me, this is the world I see. I will no longer shrink nor hide nor attempt to be something smaller than I am. And I am more than grateful to be able to share in this time in this world in this life with you. Thank you for being here with me. Here is to the ineffable and effable, to the human experience and its complexity, and to intelligence itself.
