My name is Mathieu. One of my friend recommended me to read the main sequences a couple of months ago. I’ve read one third of them so far and I really like them. Now I want to get more involved in the LessWrong community than just reading the main sequences. I’ve just posted my first article. It’s about a cryonics presentation I will do on Monday.
I wish there was a class about rationality at the beginning of high school (I’d remove any courses to add one about rationality). Otherwise we keep learning things without knowing how our brain works (especially the bias it makes) and this can cause problems when learning things and making decisions.
I study engineering physics at Laval University, Quebec, Canada. I’ve worked at the robotic laboratory of my university and I really liked it. I like mathematics, logic and programming, but I hadn’t really consider working in artificial intelligence before starting reading about it here (and then other places) because I wasn’t exposed to the field. Next year I will (try to) do a master in artificial intelligence. Moreover, I would eventually like to do (at least) an internship at MIRI.
By the way, the last question in the FAQ is linking to the 5th welcome thread and not the 6th; I’m not sure where I should mention this, but maybe one of you does.
