What is this?
Each profile is built from a single unscripted conversation on Heroes Behind AI. Using frameworks from personality psychology, cognitive science, and narrative archetype theory, we map each founder to a classical hero, a pop culture character, and a stage in their personal hero's journey.
These aren't diagnoses. They're character studies — lenses for understanding who these builders are, how they think, and what drives them.
