I am just properly introducing myself today to LessWrong.

Some of you might know me, especially if you're active in Open Source AI movements like EleutherAI or Mozilla's 0din bug bounty program. I've been a lurker since my teenage years but given my vocational interest in AI safety I've decided to make an account using my real name and likeness.

Nice to properly reconnect.

Welcome! Glad to have you around and hope you have a good time!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

If you want to see some of the stuff I've written before about AI, I have some of my content published on HuggingFace.

Here's one I wrote about AI-human interactions in the context of Client Privilege and where ethicists and policymakers need to pay closer attention:

And another one I wrote about the ethics of LLM memory.

By EoY 2025 I'll be done my undergraduate degree, and I hope to pursue a Master's in International Relations with a focus on AI Safety, either in Fall 2026 or going forward.

Also, my timelines are rather orthodox. I don't hold by the AI 2027 projection, but rather by Ray Kurzweil's 2029 for AGI, and 2045 for a true singularity event.

I'm happy to discuss further with anyone!

Grok 4 with an AI Waifu concerns me. Both because of the issue I posted about with sycophancy a few days ago but also because it's...Grok.

When the AI action plan drops tomorrow I’ll write about it.
