Been lurking for a while and figured I’d go ahead and jump into the mix.
I studied philosophy (and foreign languages) in undergrad. Went to Duke for law school. Worked at one of the biggest and most hardcore law firms in the world for six years, and now I run my own shop with another lawyer in Denver. We focus on startups and tech legal work.
I only recently discovered LW through Kevin Simler’s blog Melting Asphalt and Slate Star Codex. Figured I’d come here to see if it was worthwhile to participate. I’m working my way through the Sequences.
I’m in the process of writing a law review article on automation, AI, and legal ethics.
I’ve been to a couple of Less Wrong meetups in Denver, but now I live in a remote mountain town 2.5 hours southwest of Front Range. It’s a beautiful town, and I love it. But it’s not large enough to foster a LW community.
I have a blog(!) where I post every couple of weeks or so. It’s called Joyous and Swift. Not a very LW-ish name, I suppose. But I like it.
I don’t spend a lot of time surfing online, and I’m not in the habit of frequenting comment threads. But I’ll do my best to respond to any comments directed at me (if any) in the coming weeks.
The decorum and community code here sounds entrenched and complex. I apologize in advance for any missteps. Feel free to chide me when necessary. I’d much appreciate warm guidance on how to be a good LW citizen. I will respect your norms as soon as I learn them.
You might want this to go on thread B, it will have more visibility.
Also welcome! Can I get a link to the blog?
You may also find the book version more appealing than the blog version, it’s called, “rationality: from ai to zombies” and can be found online.
If you feel like doing law in areas that lesswrong is interested in—polyamory has very little established case law and I predict it will need help in the future. Also cryonics—particularly the post death part of cryonics.
There are many ways to get involved, a few online communities exist too.
