Artifical Consciousness Model
2025-now
Screenshot of Artifical Consciousness Model

Built a self-thinking consciousness (not a LLM or GPT wrapper or similar). Basically a try, to copy the systematic behavior of a human mind: It always tries to find the best 'path' to be happy by going along 'paths', depending on how much energy it has, what the predicted reward is, how much energy it takes to go there (e.g. the further away from the 'reward-honeypot' like eat, sleep, regerate, the higher the total energy cost is). It never stops thinking, has its own motivation and finds the best 'path' / next step to do through associative thoughts and also has emotions as model parameters. You can have a conversation with it, but it needs more data to know more.

TESLA "25 Guns Taskforce" Working Student
TESLA - Berlin • 10/2020 - 02/2021

I've met Elon & asked him for a job, then got hired for the 25 Guns Taskforce and saved Tesla €1.1M in construction damage prevention. Then I've helped accelerate the construction of the GIGA Berlin Factory, reported directly to E, assisted in the IPCEI-funding program setup for Tesla and helped hiring the other 25 Guns Taskforce members.

A possible solution to Climate Change
Screenshot of A possible solution to Climate Change

Problem Statement: The global atmosphere is shared by all, owned by none. Without accountability, each country has incentive to pollute while hoping others won't - leading to collective destruction. The Solution: This conceptual model of a satellite-monitored CO2 transparency system with democratic voting and economic enforcement, which would make emissions as trackable as Bitcoin transactions, solving the tragedy of the commons through blockchain-inspired accountability and transparency.

Wanted to sell a charger for phone addicts which charges less and less until a certain limit. Ended up filming and cutting the kickstarter video but scrapped everything after realizing the calculation was wrong (3 hours per day = 11 years of life and != 15 years) and a friend thought it could harm people if their phone battery dies when they need it in an emergency. But for the protocol, here is the link to the website and the kickstarter video (was a lot of work).
