I'm Adam. Curr 18 years old and teaching myself math, physics, and engineering (electrical, software etc.)
Bit about me
- I used to think AI was going to take over the world and end all jobs. Now I think there's like a 20% chance of that happening and an 80% chance that more jobs just start adapting to use AI as part of their workflow.
- I've always been entrepreneurial. I started my first company at 12 before I even knew what the word entrepreneur meant because I was too young to legally work for someone else. I even figured out how to essentially skip having to go to high school and instead taught myself the concepts using books, then passed all of my assignments and tests averaging about 90% in all of my courses (I graduated in 1.5 years instead of 3 and probably could have graduated even faster, but I would have had no life lol).
- I love math. I tried teaching myself all of calculus recently. I went from basic algebra and trig to the first quarter of calculus 2 over the span of about six months, in the background of working on other things. I then stopped because I figured there were more valuable skills I should be learning than how to manually compute integrals using u-substitution and trig substitutions (for the time being, but I will be back to claim the throne of calculus 2-3 when I have more free time).
- I often get depressed, then start working extra hard in my life (studying longer, working out more intensely, etc.), and it always seems to go away then come back when I start getting lazy again. I see it as a good thing; it keeps me accountable.
