I’ve been sitting on these ideas for a while now, turning them over while watching AI development accelerate in directions that honestly concern me. I’m an independent researcher and technologist who’s been deeply embedded in AI-adjacent work for years, and sometimes I think that outside perspective is exactly what’s missing...
Abstract This paper proposes a framework for AI value alignment centered on two complementary ideas: developmental value instillation through scenario-based moral reasoning, and distributed ethical oversight via a multi-model conscience architecture. Rather than treating alignment as a technical constraint to be engineered into a single system, this framework treats it...
There’s this tendency to assume we’ll all see AGI coming because we expect it to emerge from well-known labs—OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, maybe a few others. But history says transformative tech often has shadow tracks: Manhattan Project, Room 641A, even early internet protocols that ran for years before the public caught...
A technical program for a well-funded alignment-first team Abstract We propose an AGI research program centered on a fast-adapting, continually-learning, multimodal agent that (1) updates a small set of parameters on-the-fly from limited data, (2) consolidates those updates safely and sample-efficiently, (3) separates ephemeral inference-time learning from slow, alignment-gated consolidation,...
