Back in NYC: Talking AI with High Schoolers

April 28, 2026

It’s always so lovely to be back in NYC and reconnect with all the talented and ambitious people here. For the last three years I’ve been living full-time in San Francisco and very heads-down on startups. Now that TunerBench is in stable alpha, we finally have some time to meet with different communities.

This week we had the opportunity to talk to students at United Charter High School (Advanced Math and Science III). What stood out to me was just how aware they are of the AI revolution. They’re building projects, vibe-coding, hacking Arduinos for their own homes, and thinking about AI more broadly. The future is in good hands.
