Hi, I’m new here. Wanted to write a short introduction about myself. I’m curious about this forum.
I’m from Germany and have absolutely no technical background. I work as a forensic psychiatrist. I don’t know how this works in other countries, but in Germany you talk to defendants on behalf of courts or prosecutors and try to figure out what might be true and what isn’t. And as a doctor you have these kinds of conversations quite often in regular practice too. So you’re always trying to see whether you can recognize valid patterns from more or less good sources, make good predictions (diagnoses, then treatments). There’s a certain parallel to working with artificial intelligence.
As I said, I have no technical training at all, but I really enjoy working with AI. I’m also interested in forecasting and occasionally look in on Good Judgment Open. During my research I came across the Anthropic discussion about the bliss attractor thing. That was the reason — or the happy accident — that brought me to this forum. Other than that, I’m interested in philosophy, world affairs here and there, and psychology — until 5 pm ;)
I’m looking forward to reading along here, and I’m glad to have found something that isn’t Reddit.
