AI Engineers – Ontology & Civilizational Knowledge Systems
Infinity Foundation | Paid position | Part-time or full-time | Start immediately
About the role: Infinity Foundation is seeking experienced AI engineers to develop an advanced, ontology-based AI knowledge system focused on Indian civilization, philosophy, history, and intellectual traditions. Infinity Foundation has an extensive repository of original civilizational knowledge, including books by Rajiv Malhotra, research papers, lectures, videos, and other scholarly materials. Our goal is to transform this vast body of knowledge into an intelligent, structured system capable of answering complex questions accurately, with reliable sources and an unbiased Indic perspective.
We are looking for technically strong engineers who can combine AI, large language models (LLMs), knowledge graphs, ontologies, and advanced retrieval systems to build a scalable civilizational knowledge platform.
This is a hands-on engineering position involving system architecture, development, implementation, and testing.
What you will do
• Design and develop ontology-based AI systems to organize and represent complex civilizational knowledge.
• Build knowledge graphs that capture concepts, relationships, schools of thought (SOT), texts, thinkers, and philosophical frameworks.
• Develop AI-powered question-answering systems using Infinity Foundation's existing repository of books, research, videos, and other content.
• Implement LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), GraphRAG, semantic search, and related technologies.
• Build pipelines to ingest, process, classify, and connect large volumes of structured and unstructured content.
• Ensure answers are accurate, source-grounded, traceable, and reflect Indic knowledge traditions without ideological or cultural distortions.
• Develop methods to minimize hallucinations, identify knowledge gaps, and evaluate the quality and reliability of AI-generated responses. Build and use evaluation datasets for multi-turn and adversarial tests, regression checks to assess retrieval, citation accuracy, and SOT fidelity.
• Work closely with Infinity Foundation's researchers and subject experts to translate complex intellectual frameworks into computational knowledge structures.
• Collaborate with IF researchers and SMEs to continually refine the system's knowledge representation and question-answering capabilities.
Who we are looking for
• Proven professional experience in AI/ML engineering, particularly LLM-based systems, knowledge graphs, or ontology development.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying AI applications, not merely using existing AI tools.
• Strong programming skills, especially Python, and experience with modern AI/ML frameworks.
• Familiarity with knowledge representation technologies such as RDF, OWL, SPARQL, Neo4j, or equivalent graph technologies.
• Experience with RAG architectures, vector databases, embeddings, semantic retrieval, and LLM integration.
• Ability to design scalable systems that support complex reasoning and reliable question answering.
• Experience working with large document collections, unstructured knowledge, or specialized domain-specific datasets.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to independently architect and implement technical solutions.
• Interest in Indian civilization, philosophy, Sanskrit knowledge systems, or digital humanities is an advantage
We are particularly interested in engineers who have successfully built knowledge-driven AI systems and can demonstrate working implementations.
Terms
• Paid technical engineering position; part-time or full-time arrangements available.
• Remote work possible; engagements are issued in the name of Infinity Foundation.
• Compensation commensurate with experience, technical expertise, and time commitment.
• Position available immediately.
How to apply
Send a brief note describing (1) your relevant AI engineering experience; (2) projects involving ontologies, knowledge graphs, RAG, LLMs, or intelligent question-answering systems; (3) links to working projects, GitHub repositories, technical portfolios, or demonstrations of systems you have personally developed; and (4) your availability (part-time or full-time).
Please include your CV and relevant technical work samples. Applicants with demonstrated experience building and deploying similar systems will be given preference. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Replying to @ClementHerr__
“Slow" is relative to the RSI expectation of a “rapid” intelligence explosion. The bottleneck is the friction of real-world interaction, not compute.

We solved Navier-Stokes!
Many of my colleagues left their fields because they believed that working on AI would be the fastest way to solve their fields' grand challenges.
It's surreal to see the first of those challenges fall and to watch a future we believed in become real.
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
non technical people are so incredibly cooked they are burnt thru
can u imagine covering ai with zero context, zero reasoning, zero internal world model. it must be so delightfully joyful, everything is so amazing, face value is all you need,
what a time to be alive
With Codex, @asana finished a frontend test migration from Enzyme to React Testing Library in two calendar weeks—a project expected to take five more years.

Evals are the new PRD.
The companies building AI products that actually work are running 12.8 eval experiments per day. Here is the playbook with @ankrgyl, Founder and CEO of @braintrust ($800M valuation, behind Vercel, Replit, Ramp, Zapier, Notion, Airtable):
⏱ 1:43 Why vibe checks stop scaling
⏱ 6:35 Evals are the new PRD
⏱ 8:45 The Claude Code evals controversy
⏱ 18:48 Building an eval live from zero
⏱ 29:51 Connecting Linear MCP and iterating
⏱ 39:12 Why you need evals that fail
⏱ 43:36 Offline vs online evals
⏱ 47:40 Three mistakes killing eval culture
The core framework: every eval is exactly three things. A set of inputs your product needs to handle. A task that takes those inputs and generates outputs. A scoring function that produces a number between 0 and 1.
We built one from scratch on camera. Score went from 0 to 0.75 in under 20 minutes.

I spent time in Shenzhen last year and when I saw Merz come back from China saying Germans need to work more I immediately knew what broke his brain because I lived the exact same cognitive shock
my first week in Huaqiangbei I burned through 4 prototype iterations of a motor controller board for less than a thousand bucks total, back home a friend was working on something similar and spent over 12 thousand for a single revision that took almost two months to arrive
when you live that contrast in your own hands with your own project something permanently shifts in how you see the world and it goes way deeper than speed & cost
what Shenzhen actually built is a collective learning organism, imagine 20 PCB fabs 15 injection mold shops 30 component distributors and a hundred firmware freelancers all within a 2km radius, looks insanely redundant from the outside until you realize redundancy is actually information density in disguise
I watched this firsthand with an injection mold supplier I was working with, this guy had seen a hundred founders iterate similar thermal designs over 6 months so he proactively modified his tooling before I even opened my mouth, he knew what I needed before I knew what I needed, the intelligence lives in the relationships between the nodes and it compounds daily
the west thinks about manufacturing as a cost center you optimize by centralizing…
China accidentally built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where knowledge diffuses horizontally across thousands of agents faster than any single western company can process internally
so when Merz comes back and says we need to work a bit more I think he saw the problem but COMPLETELY misdiagnosed the solution, telling Germans to work harder is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side built a combustion engine
the gap is ARCHITECTURAL
it’s ecosystem density, you need a custom connector in Shenzhen you walk 200 meters, in Munich you send an email and wait 3 weeks
it’s iteration speed, parallel search vs sequential optimization at the system level, it’s risk tolerance, Chinese founders ship something broken on Monday fix it Tuesday ship again Wednesday while European companies are still in the approval phase for the pilot program of the feasibility study…
and Merz only saw the surface, what he missed is the tier 2 cities like Hefei Chengdu Wuhan replicating the Shenzhen model at scale right now
BYD going from irrelevant to outselling every european automaker combined in roughly 5 years, Huawei building its own 7nm chip under maximum sanctions when every analyst said it was physically impossible & behind all of that a government that treats advanced manufacturing as an existential national priority while europe debates whether AI needs another ethics committee
I think what we’re watching is the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history and most western leaders are still framing it as a productivity problem when it’s actually an ontological one
Europe & America are optimizing variables that China stopped tracking years ago meanwhile China is compounding on dimensions the west has no framework to even measure
Merz at least had the courage to name
it out loud and I respect that genuinely but working a bit more inside a broken architecture just means you arrive at the wrong destination slightly faster
NEW:
🇩🇪🇨🇳 German Chancellor Merz says Germans need to work more in order to match China:
“We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true.
But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly.
With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.”

Europe and India are making history today.
We have concluded the mother of all deals.
We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.
This is only the beginning.
We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

In software as in life, we often need to deal with people who will happily waste our time. Maybe it is insurance salesman who insists on taking your time. Maybe it is a colleague who must show its 50-slide PowerPoint presentation.
One important step you must take to succeed is to take these people out of your life as much as possible. Try to neutralize them.
The following statement by Torvalds is relevant to this effect...
« Some security people have scoffed at me when I say that security problems are primarily "just bugs." Those security people are f*cking morons. Because honestly, the kind of security person who doesn't accept that security problems are primarily just bugs, I don't want to work with. »
It matters because software has bugs. All non-trivial software has bugs. In fact, hardware systems have bugs too, sometimes caused by hardware failures.
And some bugs can be exploited to cause problems such as denial-of-service attacks or even allow attackers to take control of your machine.
So we should hunt down bugs.
However, there is a whole class of people who find an off-by-one error or some other bug, and then immediately declare that they have found a **security vulnerability**.
Whatever they are doing is the *most important thing there is*. We should all stop what we are doing to concentrate on what this person is saying because it is obviously the most important discovery it is.
You see. It is not a bug. It is a security vulnerability.
This is just like the insurance salesman that wants to tell you that without his insurance, your family could go hungry.
You see, it is not insurance. It is the future of your children.
Stay away from these people.

My hot take is that people without religion or those who are agnostic have better morals.
They don't diss other people's food.
They don't have separate utensils and dishes for the marginalised
They don't call their food pure.
They marry based on mutual values and respect.
They don't call random people terrorists.
They don't force their women to dress in a certain way.
They don't mob lynch

New fastest shortest-path algorithm in 41 years!
Tsinghua researchers broke Dijkstra’s 1984 “sorting barrier,” achieving O(m log^(2/3) n) time. This means faster route planning, less traffic, cheaper deliveries, and more efficient networks - and a CS curriculum revamp =)

Have you ever wondered why the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza [1677], a Jewish man, is eerily and strikingly similiar to Upanishadic thought?
Heinrich Roth in Agra's Jesuit school studied Upanishads from 1654-1662. And it was another ex-Jesuit Van den Enden who gave it to Spinoza.

You see these manhole covers? They are made in, made by, installed in and installed by Indians. So good news is, we know how to level manholes without creating a 3 feet protruding structure.
Then why the hell is it not replicated on our public roads !!

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Since cloud seeding is in news, here's a legendary throwback video of former Addl IT Commissioner, Vishwa Bandhu Gupta, IRS, sharing his expert opinion on the topic.
Let’s not forget, he cleared the civil services, so naturally, he’s part of the intellectual cream of the nation.
