OpenAI mostly. Started following along what they're doing and eventually spiraled into going to one of their meetups and then attending ICML this summer.

I'm not particularly a genius, but deeply passionate and curious on what I do. As a result, doing research or an internship was more fun than most other things I'd be doing over the summer/fall.

Didn't grow up in the best of situations, but learned how lucky I was to live in the Bay, giving me access to meet people IRL and grow from there.

You have a very wise perspective for your age. Good luck to you.

I think I've spent too much time reading PG's essays :).
