Joseph Reth
I am a 22-year-old American technology entrepreneur and computer scientist based in San Francisco specializing in self-learning systems. I'm currently working on foundational scientific superintelligence in stealth. Previously, I served as founding CEO of Lossless Research, a pioneering AI research lab explicitly dedicated to developing conscious artificial intelligence to advance scientific understanding of human consciousness.
I've been training autoregressive models and working on autonomous agent architectures since the first open-source LLM (GPT-Neo) was released in 2021. My work has reached millions of people globally, been implemented in U.S. Department of Defense systems, and shaped how organizations approach AI implementation at scale.
I've been programming since I was 9 or 10, attended Modesto Junior College for Computer Science at 14, and briefly studied at San Francisco State University before dropping out.
