Notable Me Fact: I called DL AGI ahead of time, in 2016-2017. See, eg, 2019 comment; I have email records of calling it in early 2017. Other facts about me:

I want literally every human to get to go to space often and safely and come back to a clean and cozy world, all while doing what they want and tractably achieving enough food, health, shelter, love, etc. This conjunction currently seems unlikely (and incomplete). Let's change that.

I pin my most timeless comments. I seem to find writing posts aversive, so most of my contributions are comments, and my posts are mostly just things I found online.

Please critique eagerly - I try to accept feedback/Crocker's rules but fail at times; I aim for emotive friendliness but sometimes miss. I welcome constructive crit, even if ungentle, and I'll try to reciprocate kindly. I can be rather passionate, let me know if I missed a spot being kind while passionate.

.... We can heal it for the first time, and for the first time ever in the history of biological life, live in harmony. ....

I have not signed any contracts that I can't mention exist, last updated Jan 2, 2026; I am not currently under any contractual NDAs about AI, though I have a few old ones from pre-AI software jobs. However, I generally would prefer people publicly share fewer ideas about how to do anything useful with current AI (via either more weak alignment or more capability) unless it's an insight that reliably produces enough clarity on how to solve the meta-problem of inter-being misalignment that it offsets the damage of increasing competitiveness of either AI-lead or human-lead orgs, and this certainly applies to me as well. I am not prohibited from criticism of any organization, I'd encourage people not to sign contracts that prevent sharing criticism. I suggest others also add notices like this to their bios. I finally got around to adding one in mine thanks to the one in ErickBall's bio.
