James Brobin

 Hi! I'm a twenty three year old ex-software engineer. I like to write about EA and do independent research related to it. I'm particularly interested in longtermism, and how we navigate the transition to a post-AGI society.

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