I was one the interns featured in the article, and I would agree with that sentiment.

Many of my colleagues and fellow interns were skilled programmers, but very few—if any—inherently possessed something that you or I don't have. The intern class was primarily composed of individuals with a curiosity for technology and circumstances that enabled their exploration.

I recognize the ease of feeling dissatisfied with one's own achievements; I doubt that receiving an offer from Jane Street for you or gaining admission into a elite school for myself would quell our insecurities. You've accomplished a lot, though I don't know how to help you recognize that.

Undergrad at UMN with a strong math background looking for opportunities in machine learning. I am currently a full-time student but I'd be interested in taking a semester off to work in spring, potentially through summer.

I have practical experience with ML from competing in several hackathons this past year.[1] Most recently, my team won the education track at HackMIT with a VSCode extension that revises the user's code with an LLM and explains the changes.[2] (We also pitched the idea to YC in their sponsor event and won an anytime interview so that's cool.)

I am currently working through fast.ai and am taking several graduate-level courses on ML theory to solidify my fundamentals. Areas of interest are LLMs, reinforcement learning, multi-modal models, manifold learning, and evolutionary strategies.

Feel free to reach out for anything, even just to chat.

Out of curiosity, what was the video?

I believe that he is referring more broadly to forms of governance in DAOs (though I believe they're all on turing complete chains). For example, OpenZeppelin provides some quickstart governance contracts[1] that are all coin-based voting systems. There are some simple ways around this, like to make voting power proportional to the square root of token ownership but obviously one address != one human voter.

Vitalik wrote about some alternatives[2] on his blog, such as proof of humanity, proof or participation or staking based solutions primarily but most significant projects are still using coin-voting.
