I consult with businesses to help them understand emerging technologies and structure for successful change.

I want to make the future a wildly better place, and I think the fastest and most likely path to that lies through technological advancement, particularly the creation of aligned human-level artificial intelligence.

Stuff I like to think about:

• The future of AI and society
• The science of happiness
• Enshittification and how to constrain capitalism to the benefit of society
• Inadequate equilibria
• The role of culture in near-future utopias
