• People feel most themselves when they are unselfconscious, which is to say, their actions emerge without apparent control

  Surrender as a non-stupid life strategy

• I think many of the marginal hires at larger organizations doing AI safety technical or policy work right now (including e.g. Apollo, Redwood, METR, RAND TASP, GovAI, Epoch, UKAISI, and Anthropic’s safety teams) would be capable of founding (or being early employees of) organizations focused on building capacity in AI safety, and would have more impact by doing so.

  The case for AI safety capacity-building work

• What strikes me most is how the few people who know what they want to do don’t work on their ideas because “they don’t know enough yet.”

  getting older, college, and dreams

• Starting [at a young age]
