FOSS and prosocial AI fanatic.

Trying to build AI (virtual assistants) that trully assist rather than manipulate us.

Aspire to practical utilitarianism - greatest good for the greatest number for the longest possible amount of time.

But I'm disillusioned by the longtermism movement when billionaires and their academic cronies focus on legacy, or animal welfare, or imagined future suffering. Those with privilege and power must acknowledge our uncertainty and support those in need now.
