I’m interested in being a dialogue partner for any of the things I tend to post about, but maybe especially:
Explosive economic growth—I’m skeptical of models like Tom Davidson’s but curious to probe others’ intuitions. For example, what would speeding up hardware research by a factor of 10 or more look like?
Molecular nanotechnology, for example clarifying my critique of the use of equilibrium statistical mechanics in Nanosystems
Maybe in more of an interviewer/rubber-duck role: Forecasting and its limits, professional ethics in EA, making sense of scientific controversies
Maybe in more of an interviewer/rubber-duck role: Forecasting and its limits,
Doublechecking understanding: in this scenario you’re looking for someone who has opinions about forecasting, and interviewing them? Or did you wanna be interviewed?
The first! These are things I think about sometimes, but I suspect I’d be better at asking interesting questions than at saying interesting things myself.

My own skepticism about AI x-risk as a priority
