Hi
I believe in capital-T Truth, that there are valid and invalid ways of accessing it, and in the primacy of conscious experience. Along the way I'd like to try to collect all knowledge, all qualia, and generally to become extraordinarily good at being alive.
I'm currently a research scientist at OpenAI working on generalizing reinforcement learning on language models. I was previously at Harvard. I live in San Francisco and am an active pianist!
I'm interested in longevity science, human and machine intelligence, the material origin of consciousness, metalearning, intellectual history, contemporary music composition, language learning, and much more.
I'd probably love to hear from you if you enjoy thinking about similar things:
