About

I’m a research/software engineer based in Oakland and wishing to do good. I’m interested in the long term future of the world, and am afraid of risks from advanced technology. I currently think most about artificial intelligence, which seems likely to be transformative in my lifetime.

In my free time, I like to:

• Appreciate things humans have produced, e.g. playing games, doing puzzles, reading, watching shows, listening to music, learning about past discoveries. Here are some of my favorite things.
• Spend time with my family and friends.
• Work on a variety of side projects.
• Think and very occasionally write up thoughts. I wish I could say I thought about all manner of worldly topics, but it’s really just computer science and technology.
