What is this?
This is my “open notebook”,
Currently working on bootstrapping the ⭐️ Open Research Institute which is a missing piece of infrastructure for civilization-wide coordination.
Also working on evangelizing “open memetics” / open source & decentralized cultural engineering. This is necessary for “steering the ship” towards the best possible future for all sentient beings. This is “universal alignment”, AI alignment is a subset of this problem.
My background is in software engineering (computer graphics / geospatial / game dev), and marketing / community management (have been a maintainer of a large open source project, hosted hackathons/game jams etc).
