(Note: I was unsatisfied with a draft of this, heavily edited it, and I'm still unsatisfied. The notion of "weak HIA method" here is muddled, maybe conflating multiple things that shouldn't be conflated here. It may be used a bit inconsistently, and may make some arguments tautological or contradictory depending...

Introduction I think reprogenetics (human germline genomic engineering) can be done in a widely acceptable and beneficial way, and should be pursued aggressively. In particular, as a strong background motivation of mine, I think accelerating strong reprogenetics is probably the best way to enable strong human intelligence amplification; and I...

The Berkeley Genomics Project is hiring. If you're hard-working, reliable, ready to learn, and highly motivated to help build the emerging sector of reprogenetics, consider applying for the role of operations lead. Other roles include research & writing, policy & lobbying, and media. Also reach out if you might like...

Summary If you are interested in doing ambitious scientific research in areas listed below, and have a relevant project that needs funding, consider reaching out. My interest is in human intelligence amplification, though I believe that a variety of scientific projects are relevant, many of which are not specifically related...

PDF version. berkeleygenomics.org. x.com. bluesky. Introduction This is a list of projects I'd like to assist. This is a note aimed mainly at scientists, but also funders (philanthropy, government, commercial), and separately at other experts (law, policy, regulation, ethics, media). I'd like to assist with various scientific projects related to...

We’ll be hosting the 2026 Reproductive Frontiers Summit at Lighthaven in Berkeley, CA, on June 16—18. Come join us if you want to learn, connect, think, and coordinate about the future of germline engineering technology. Very early bird tickets are available now until the end of March. Who will be...

Crosspost from my blog. [Previously: "Views on when AGI comes and on strategy to reduce existential risk", "Do confident short timelines make sense?"] [Whenever discussing when AGI will come, it bears repeating: If anyone builds AGI, everyone dies; no one knows when AGI will be made, whether soon or late;...
