Full intro

My name is Trinidad Matta-Schilling, but everyone calls me Tonchi. I'm 19 years old, from Santiago, Chile. I've been creating content since 2022, but became very inconsistent when I started college, and I wanna get my platform back on track!

I've been doing STEM activism since I was 13, passing bills in congress and whatnot. I also won a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award. I did competitive debate on the national team for a long time, where I learned most of my English. I'm currently in Law School.

Favorite things: my cat, drawing silly things, making new friends, exploring new tech, making silly websites, Wordle, fun facts, coffee shop hopping, walking, sleeping. I mostly listen to indie folk, 80s britpop, and southern cone rock. My top artist for the past 4 years has been Big Thief.

My philosophy for content creation is fun-fact based: tell you something you didn't know but maybe assumed true. Like, did you know ants don't have lungs? I distrust anyone who thinks a kangaroo wouldn't absolutely obliterate them (90kg of muscle, 759 pounds of force, claws, and they drown their enemies). ig: instagram.com/tonchimatta. I post my content in Spanish. Not much AI safety content is available in Spanish, so maybe it would make a greater impact to continue with it.
