My main passion is in relational practices (like circling, authentic relating, wheel of consent, etc), and that's what I write about on my main blog.

Though I'd love to dive into the AI conversation here! 🤓

My career arc is something like:

➡️ Graduated college feeling lost and got a boring corporate job.
➡️ Had a spiritual awakening. Lived in monasteries for a while.
➡️ Became a life coach to help people live w purpose
➡️ Became a sex/relationship coach cuz I realized relationships are the most important thing
➡️ Realized I didn't want to coach any more. Started a career in writing and content marketing
➡️ Had an "existential risk" awakening recently. I'm now trying to figure out how to apply my efforts to AI alignment/ethics

Some of my other interests include:

-Community building and intentional community living
-Sex positivity
-Queer theory
-Parkour
-Basketball
-Board games
-Singing and rap

So You Think You've Awoken ChatGPT

Great post! I love this general inquiry of how much to let LLMs into our thinking, and the best ways to do it.

Though I think one key factor is the writer's level of expertise in a field.

The more expertise you have, the more you can use ChatGPT as an idea collaborator, and use your own discernment on the validity of the ideas.

Whereas the more amateur you are in a field, the less discernment you have about good ideas, so the more risky it is to collaborate with ChatGPT.
