Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Intellectual Curiosity: Seeks advanced math proofs (NS proof) and builds a tool indexing 600k Lean definitions.
- Entrepreneurial Drive: Founded PingYou, hires fresh Cambridge grads with $100 salary, launches brand.
- Community Engagement: Requests preview access to proofs, shares tools, donates half winnings, invites collaboration.
- Humor: Posts memes like 'I am Cher', holiday jokes, and pop culture references.
- Technical Proficiency: Develops LLM‑discoverable indexing tool, discusses Lean style guide, shares code links.
Weaknesses:
- Confrontational Tone: Calls out math bros, defends against critics, says 'I’m a crank' in legal threat tweet.
- Overconfidence: Claims compute is overrated, declares 'I am Cher', makes bold bets on AI.
- Speculative Hype: Predicts 'Agentic AI' overhaul of publishing, bets on AGI breakthroughs.
- Self-Promotion: Highlights donations, achievements, brand launch, and personal wins.
- Inconsistent Focus: Jumps between math proofs, memes, DEI criticism, and tech predictions.
Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
Lisa Simpson is the only core Simpsons character whose love for math, science and intellectual curiosity matches Budden’s frequent deep‑tech posts, such as his tweet 'Math is really just Haskell with annoying syntax, anyway'. Like Lisa’s penchant for activism and moral responsibility, Budden shows a philanthropic streak, e.g., 'Technically I haven't won my bet with Marcus yet, but it's Christmas, so I just donated half my winnings preemptively.'. Both share a tendency to voice strong opinions on complex topics, evident in Budden’s 'Hot take. Compute is catastrophically overrated.' mirroring Lisa’s often‑cited hot takes on environmental and scientific issues. Budden’s drive to build tools and solve hard problems—'I wrote a cool little tool that indexes all ~600k Lean defs …'—parallels Lisa’s ambition to push the boundaries of knowledge, whether in jazz, astronomy or robotics. Finally, Budden’s self‑aware humor and occasional self‑deprecation, like 'I'm an engineer. I proved it twice.', echo Lisa’s witty, sometimes sarcastic commentary on the world around her.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTJ
He shows strong outward focus by actively recruiting and networking, e.g., "If any fresh Cambridge CS grads are looking for a job, I'll round it up to 100. Vibe coding fully encouraged." and "I really want to meet the SWE that vibe coders' output is being measured against." He consistently operates on abstract, future‑oriented ideas, such as "My 2026 big bet. The academic publication industry is about to have its 'Agentic AI' moment" and the whimsical speculation "I have concluded that Tom Bombadil is Tolkien channeling Gödel." His decision‑making is highly logical and critical, illustrated by "I'll say this once for the mathematicians at the back of the room. The 'AI community' is not flooding arXiv Math with 1000s of LLM generated spam papers" and "Anyone who pokes fun at people saying 'please' when querying an LLM clearly does not appreciate how next token prediction works." He prefers structure, planning and goal‑setting, as seen in "Right. Back to actual work" and the explicit bet wording "PS if I do win I'm donating 500k to penguin conservation and 500k to Terry's charity of choice." Overall, his communication style, abstract vision, logical analysis, and organized approach align with the ENTJ personality type.
Some pickup lines for you
- Are you a Lean theorem? Because every time I see you, my heart simplifies and the proof of love becomes trivial.
- If we were a pair of LLM‑indexed Lean definitions, I'd query you for the most beautiful proof and get your smile as the result.
- I may not have an NS proof yet, but I'd love to co‑author a love theorem with you—vibe coding and endless coffee included.
- Do you believe in penguin conservation? Because I'd gladly donate half my heart to keep you safe, and the other half to keep you smiling.
- If Agentic AI is the next big thing, can we let our chemistry be the next agent, rewriting the academic publication industry with a love paper?

Your signature cocktail
Lean LLM Libation
Named the "Lean LLM Libation", this cocktail mixes crisp gin for Budden's engineering precision, absinthe for the chaotic beauty of mathematics he chants in "Math is really just Haskell with annoying syntax, anyway", and coffee liqueur to capture his obsession with LLM‑powered proof hunting ("I'll say this once for the mathematicians at the back of the room. The 'AI community' is not flooding arXiv Math with 1000s of LLM generated spam papers"). A dash of orange bitters nods to his hot‑take that "Hot take. Compute is catastrophically overrated", while a tiny penguin‑shaped ice cube celebrates his PingYou mission ("PingYou is coming out of stealth to declare that penguins are cool"). The garnish of a fresh mint sprig echoes his recruiting call: "If any fresh Cambridge CS grads are looking for a job, I'll round it up to 100". The drink’s layered flavors echo his layered interests from Lean proofs to venture bets, and each sip feels like a code‑review session: clear, surprising, and slightly intoxicating.
Your Hogwarts House
Slytherin
Budden’s timeline is dominated by grand, high‑stakes bets and a drive to reshape entire fields, which signals strong ambition. He tweets, "My 2026 big bet. The academic publication industry is about to have its 'Agentic AI' moment," and later adds, "If I do win I'm donating 500k to penguin conservation and 500k to Terry's charity of choice," showcasing a desire for influence and legacy. He also openly seeks to recruit talent at scale – "If any fresh Cambridge CS grads are looking for a job, I'll round it up to 100" – and references "Thinly veiled legal threats" and a careful selection of bet offers, reflecting strategic, resource‑driven thinking. While he displays considerable technical knowledge, the prevailing theme is his relentless pursuit of power, impact, and success, hallmarks of Slytherin.
Your movie
Your song
Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen
Don’t Stop Me Now captures Budden's unstoppable, high‑energy approach to AI and math, as shown by his bold statements like 'Hot take. Compute is catastrophically overrated.' and 'My 2026 big bet. The academic publication industry is about to have its 'Agentic AI' moment.' He constantly celebrates wins, posting 'Achievement unlocked.' and even jokes 'Hold my beers' before tackling new challenges. His relentless drive to build tools, exemplified by 'I wrote a cool little tool that indexes all ~600k Lean defs I could find to be LLM discoverable with natural language queries.', mirrors the song’s lyric 'I’m a shooting star leaping through the sky.' The upbeat, defiant tone of the track matches his meme‑filled, confident persona throughout his timeline.
