Hi! I’m Kelvin, 26, and I’ve been following LessWrong since 2018. Came here after reading references to Eliezer’s AI-Box experiments from Nick Bostrom’s book.
During high school I participated in a few science olympiads, including Chemistry, Math, Biology and Informatics. Was the reserve member of the Brazilian team for the 2012 International Chemistry Olympiad.
I studied Medicine and later Molecular Science at the University of São Paulo, and dropped out in 2015 to join a high-frequency trading fund based on Brazil. Had a successful career there, and rose up to become one of the senior partners.
Since 2020 I’m co-founder and CEO of TickSpread, a crypto futures exchange based on batch auctions. We are interested in mechanism design, conditional and combinatorial markets, and futarchy.
I’m also personally very interested in machine learning, neuroscience, and AI safety discussions, and I’ve spent quite some time studying these topics on my own, despite having no professional experience on them.
I very much want to be more active on this community, participating in discussions and meeting other people who are also interested in these topics, but I’m not totally sure where to start. I would love for someone to help me get integrated here, so if you think you can do that please let me know :)
