Borrow my Brain – For Free! 🆓 🧠

I'm doing something crazy – I'm making half of my brain public property. What do I mean by this? I'm donating 50% of my brainpower and time to the world at large, to anybody who wants it.

Why am I doing this?

I enjoy solving seemingly impossible problems for fascinating people. I will work on almost any problem, in any field or subject, explicitly without pay.

I'm trying to push the boundaries of my knowledge, experience, and capabilities to their limits. This keeps me sharp and always evolving. I have an excellent and multimodal track-record.

What kinds of problems am I willing to work on?

ANYTHING! Software, plumbing, computer vision, pharma, astronomy, manufacturing, geology, robotics, paint formulation, dinosaurs, food science, hardware, mathematics, or screenwriting. I will take a crack at it!

But the problem must be challenging and unsolved.

However, there are a few conditions...

  1. 1)The problem must be challenging and unsolved.
  2. 2)The problem must be genuinely interesting.
  3. 3)The problem must be actually solvable. None of that "world peace" stuff.
  4. 4)The solution to the problem must have tangible, provable, and measurable results.
  5. 5)I will not deliver under tight deadlines. You have my promise that I will try my hardest to reach a solution as fast as possible. As an informal guideline, I am generally aiming to solve your problem in 30 days or less. There are rare exceptions to this rule for exceptionally compelling and urgent issues.
  6. 6)My solution to anything I work on must be public. NO EXCEPTIONS. Any tool, technique, invention, software, hardware, knowledge, etc. which is produced as a result of free work on this problem by me is produced under the MIT License. It will be public, open source, free to all, not owned by any party. You are free to use it, but so is everyone else!

What are you waiting for?

You've got nothing to lose; it won't cost you a dime.
