Greetings From Future Camp

Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, Quantitative Finance and the unedited thoughts of a soon-to-be robot

About me

My name is Rod Furlan. I am a Quant, Software Engineer, Singularity University Alumnus and Teaching Fellow.

I want to build wondrous things that inspire and drive change. I love complicated problems and challenge is what makes me tick.

Every day I am humbled by the elegant complexity of the universe we live in. The pursuit of truth and knowledge defines who I am.

I am a serial autodidact. When I was 9 years old, I taught myself Z80 assembly on a Sinclair ZX-81. To me, life is an all-you-can-eat buffet of knowledge

I am in love with the future and I believe that for humanity, the best is yet to come.

Greetings From Future Camp

Popular Science have just published a cool article about our summer at Singularity University. Late but great!

“According to Ray Kurzweil, the Singularity is a point at which man will become one with machine and then live eternally—which makes Singularity University, a nine-week academic retreat named for the concept, sound a little cultish. Our writer traveled west to investigate and found 40 stunningly sane brainiacs out to change the world.” – Popular Science [read full article]
