James Brobin

Hi! I'm a twenty three year old ex-software engineer. I like to write about EA and I'm interested in a broad range of its related topics (such as animal welfare, moral progress, and biorisks.)

My YouTube channel is James Brobin, and it conveys EA ideas to a general audience.

My blog is James Brobin's Substack, and it includes stuff that I haven't posted on this forum.
