The Case for This Conversation
groups, geometry, & hierarchy in neural representations | founder @newtheoryai, organizer @neur_reps, phd @ucberkeley @redwood_neuro @geometric_intel
Dive into the cutting-edge worlds of technology and science with Dwarkesh Patel's meticulously researched interviews that bring together brilliant minds to unpack revolutionary ideas in AI, biotech, and beyond. Each episode delivers profound, thought-provoking conversations that challenge conventional wisdom and illuminate the paths shaping humanity's future.
Christian Shewmake, known online as @cashewmake2, just helped lead NeurReps at NeurIPS on December 7, 2025, a workshop on symmetry and geometry in neural representations that featured voices like Max Tegmark and Surya Ganguli, putting him at the center of where frontier AI theory is moving right now. He is a Berkeley PhD researcher and community organizer whose work focuses on groups, geometry, and hierarchy in neural representations.
He is also the founder of New Theory AI, an active company building geometry grounded approaches, which is exactly what labs need in early 2026 as pressure mounts for robust, interpretable systems under tightening global rules and audits. With fresh proposals on computational compliance landing this month, his perspective connects cutting edge math to the real demands model builders are facing today.
Bringing him on Dwarkesh now means digging into how geometric structure can make frontier models safer and more general, right as the field pivots from chasing benchmarks to understanding representations. The timing is perfect, the research community is listening, and practical stakes are high.
