Karma: 2,496

Theoretical Computer Science Msc student at the University of [Redacted] in the United Kingdom.

I’m an aspiring alignment theorist; my research vibes are descriptive formal theories of intelligent systems (and their safety properties) with a bias towards constructive theories.

I think it’s important that our theories of intelligent systems remain rooted in the characteristics of real world intelligent systems; we cannot develop adequate theory from the null string as input.
