My research goals are to be disconnected from technology and the internet – attending film festivals, drinking wine at a beach somewhere warm while reading interesting books, and enjoying the company of good friends. Please talk to me about movies, long-distance running, food and pastries, world events, Georgist socio-economic policy, or literally anything that is not focused on tech.
Testimonials
“Nitarshan is a PhD student in Cambridge, previously a student at MILA, a top machine learning lab in Canada. He is interested in topics of AI safety among others. He also has an impressive repertoire of about five things he can say in Hungarian (and maybe even more).”
“Beware of Nitarshan in general… He asks thought-provoking questions that will make you rethink your whole research agenda”
“Quite fun and interesting. Those are his parameters.”
“Nitarshan’s wardrobe is definitely proof of discerning consumption”
