hi, i'm Pranav. I am the founder of Meteor, a Y Combinator alum and a CS dropout from the University of Washington, Seattle. I love building cool stuff. Within a week of building my first project at UW, nearly ten percent of the undergrad student body were active users. It was immediately taken down, but that sparked my interest to build and I have since continued to build things that excite me. Outside of work, I enjoy chess, philosophy, AI research and recently taken an interest in mechanistic interpretability.
In this blog, I expect to write about all sorts of stuff. Mostly AI. Probably. Interspersed with some philosophy, data analysis and personal takes. I will try to update this website when I can. It is not a comprehensive account of my work or my interests. If you want to know more, please reach out to me.
In making this website, I also made the (ironic) decision to entirely avoid the use of AI. This is a corner of the internet reserved for opinions/ thoughts as close to their raw form as I experience them. AI editing dilutes signal -- I find a lot of value in the rough, unpolished, semi-correct analogies and intuitions humans use to communicate and express ideas in our brains. All words are my own.
