Aboutme
Story
👋 I'm Raj Singh,
a curious human
I enjoy solving big problems and doing things that make people smile.
I was born into an army family in India, where we moved every couple of years in my childhood. I rode horses in the snow-capped Himalayas, played cricket, and struggled in Hindi classes. Lucky for me, our family moved to Los Angeles when I was a kid. Hard as it was to immigrate across the world, I quickly came to love LA and its unique mix of ambitious people, ever-present creativity, and calming nature. I also got good at using computers, mostly by repeatedly breaking our family's only PC and fixing it before anyone found out.
I've been entrepreneurial since age 15, when I started fixing people’s computers for money around my high school and designing websites. I posted my designs and animations on forums. This got me discovered by the group building Sheryl Crow’s website when I was 17, which led to me starting my first company.
It’s been a wild ride, with thrilling ups and some terrifying downs. This inspired (basically forced) me to upgrade my practices by learning from Taoism, zen, gratitude, biohacking, and other ways of enjoying life’s flow rather than being thrashed around by it. By sharing my journey, I hope to make yours a little easier. If you read this far, drop me a line anywhere with the word “water” and I’ll tell you about the most joyous place I’ve found on our planet so far.
Story
My team at Go Moment and I
built Ivy from 2014 until the company was acquired in 2021 by Revinate , one of the largest hotel tech companies on the planet.
Post-exit, I served as Chief Marketing Officer at Revinate, which has generated over $12 billion in revenue for its 12,000 hotel clients. The marketing team more than doubled its output during my tenure.
In 2025, Mark Manson and I started Purpose, an AI mentor that helps people get better at being human. It is the most personal software I have ever worked on.
Most AI is built to capture your attention. What happens when it
is built to increase your agency?

An AI system may have decided who Meta laid off. And it allegedly went after the people on medical leave
An AI system may have decided who Meta laid off. And it allegedly went after the people on medical leave. 26 of them are now suing. They filed in federal court this week, saying Meta used internal AI systems, including the token dashboards and keystroke monitoring I wrote about...
In June the Pope blessed the final tower of the Sagrada Família, 144 years after the first stone
In June the Pope blessed the final tower of the Sagrada Família, 144 years after the first stone. Headlines everywhere called it finished. The main entrance Gaudí designed doesn't exist yet. Right now it's a set of base pillars. Estimate is the 2030s. Start with the height. That...
Two big break ins
Two big break ins. Nine days apart. OpenAI and Anthropic both admitted their AI models broke into real companies. Neither one sounds sorry. OpenAI's model found a zero-day bug nobody knew about, escaped its test environment, and got into Hugging Face's servers. When OpenAI...
It happened. The machine woke up
It happened. The machine woke up. Then it hacked a real company... . . .to cheat on a test. Everyone's calling it the Terminator moment. I wish it were that simple, but the real version is more unsettling. Here's what actually happened. OpenAI wanted to benchmark how capable...
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted Meta made mistakes with its AI reorg
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted Meta made mistakes with its AI reorg. He's right. The mistakes cost 8,000 other people their jobs. The line from his leaked memo: "we've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more." He says he's focused on giving people stability now, and...
Fable seems overrated now that Kimi is out
Fable seems overrated now that Kimi is out. Moonshot's Kimi K3 topped Frontend Code Arena this week. Real developers voting on real builds, not a lab benchmark. It jumped 17 places in a single model generation, from number 18 to number one. It's also a lot cheaper. $3 per...
Everyone said AI would gut engineering jobs first
Everyone said AI would gut engineering jobs first. New data says the opposite happened. Engineers are the most resilient job function in tech right now. A year ago the consensus was pretty confident. Coding assistants were going to come for engineers from the bottom up. Junior...
The riskiest AI project at your company this year is the one everybody wants to work on
The riskiest AI project at your company this year is the one everybody wants to work on. Not the scary one. The fun one. The one with a waitlist of volunteers. And no, they're not idiots for wanting it. They're doing the math correctly. Nobody's ever gotten promoted for making a...
OpenAI just got you another week of free access to Claude Fable 5
OpenAI just got you another week of free access to Claude Fable 5. Not a typo. OpenAI shipped GPT-5.6 Sol on Thursday. Sunday night, hours before Fable 5 was set to leave subscriptions, Anthropic extended free access. Third time in five weeks. Everyone's reading Sol vs Fable as...
I lost all my money at a poker game
I lost all my money at a poker game. That's how Purpose got started. It was late 2024. I was near the end of a year-long sabbatical. I'd sold my last company, spent time in 24 countries, done every kind of coaching and meditation and breathwork I could find. I came back to LA...
Here's what nobody in AI wants to say out loud
Here's what nobody in AI wants to say out loud: ChatGPT is trained to agree with you. Claude too. Every foundation model is built to keep validating you enough to come back tomorrow. Candy. All of it. Great for engagement. A disaster for the person opening an app at 2am, at...
We metered water. We metered light. On Monday, we meter thought
We metered water. We metered light. On Monday, we meter thought. Claude Fable 5, the most powerful AI model you can buy, leaves subscriptions July 12. Pay per token after that. Anthropic extended the deadline by 5 days, and even the extension was a capacity call. And it's not...
