Cris Lenta

I'm the founder of Lifesim, Inc. - an applied AI gaming research lab exploring the future of games through an open-world, attention-based life simulator with emergent worlds.

Previously:
  • Small exit from my Munich-based startup, OOVAL - headless ticketing engine for big event organizers.
  • Co-author in two AI research papers published at MIT Press (Artificial Life Journal), and IEEE Xplore, investigating how neural networks can self-replicate through backpropagation, analyzing emergent interactions in artificial chemistry environments - lead authors Thomas Gabor and Steffen Illium
  • Undergraduate studies in Computer Science and Statistics from LMU Munich — top 2 university in Germany
  • Dropped out of my masters
  • Lived like an urban monk for 4 years

  • Three things I believe are true:

  • The future of humanity will be asymmetrically influenced by two main pillars: technology & inner work. I love being at the cutting edge of both.
  • Dream big. Act small. Be humble. Dedicate your life to making dreams real.
  • I am an idealist and an optimist, because the need to know is bigger than our ego.
