When I'm not working on AI safety, I enjoy philosophy and history, doing math, and tinkering with Useless Machines.
I post some of my writing on LessWrong, and I also have a Substack named Jousting at the Junction. This page remains the most complete archive, including notes (ideas not in essay form), whose titles are in sans serif.
My inbox is always open for feedback (here) and discussion.
