My goal has been to help as many sentient beings as possible as much as possible since I was quite young, and I decided to prioritize X-risk and improving the long-term future at around age 13. Toward this end, growing up I studied philosophy, psychology, social entrepreneurship, business, economics, the history of information technology, and futurism.
A few years ago I wrote a book “Ways to Save The World” which imagined broad innovative strategies for preventing existential risk and improving the long-term future.
Upon discovering Effective Altruism in January 2022 while studying social entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California, I did a deep dive into EA and rationality and decided to take a closer look at the possibility of AI caused X-risk and lock-in, and moved to Berkeley to do longtermist community building work.
I am now looking to close down a small business I have been running to research AI enabled safety research and longtermist trajectory change research, including concrete mechanisms, full time. I welcome offers of employment or funding as a researcher on these areas.
