A little eccentric and a bit neurodivergent, but always a full-time nerd. Here for the skeets and whatever else you could throw my way.

At the end of the day, I am just a person teaching robots and humans manners.
A new blog post is up!
In this post, I write about and critique value-centric frameworks, both nightmare-avoidant and value-maximising.

To preserve and align AI systems and governance institutions to human values, we need to safeguard agency.

Happy that so many Republican leaders are stepping up against Trump. But they all should lose their seats for deciding policies based on personal agendas instead of their constituents. They lost the privilege to represent the American people when they turned their back on more than half the populace

Can AI systems remove your autonomy for the sake of optimisation?

In this latest article, I ask you to ponder the question: "What ensures your right to agentic expression?"

What do disabilities, religious expression, AI, and governance have in common? In this article, I share why I am "hung up on preservation of agency", what it means to do so, and the implications of not doing so.

Check out my article on my Substack.

Posted my first full article on my Substack, The Field and Spark. I reexamine Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment to account for a multiple-observer situation and illustrate its connection to how AI systems operate.

Are they (the administration) going to use the CK incident to remove yet another PoC from an official position? Not that Patel is any trophy to have for minorities.

The administration is eroding freedom of speech under the guise of national unity.

So, to make our country safer, instead of taking a hard stance against the prevalence of the weapons on the streets the First Twat has decided to advocate for a police state starting from within the home. These people.

Lol the moment that a liberal would have suggested something to Abbott or any other governor that left their state during an emergency it would have been a violation of their right to travel.

Fuck fascists.

What the Supreme Court rulings are effectively saying is that the government has the right to restructure itself every election? Am I beginning to understand these bits right?

Since Trump is being challenged on the usage of the National Guard and military deployment, I fully expect him to attempt to turn ICE into his own private militia.

They wanted a country run like a business from a failed businessman, they forgot about the ass kissing and the rampant autocratic behaviours of the older generation's attitude of "my way or the highway".

it’s not an important point at all, but I just can’t get over the fact that these people apparently believe they’d do well in a “meritocracy” after failing upwards their entire lives

The Empire did this on Narkina 5. I really wish people weren't trying to imitate art at this time.
one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them

US Govt: "we messed up initially, but because it's too much paperwork we are just going to label him as a terrorist."

So much for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Can a lawyer answer for me?

If freedom of speech is central to the American tenants of freedom both here and abroad and things that have been historically fought for.

Are these arrests and support by the courts of these actions an implied understanding that freedom of speech is changing?

I really love it when the president writes an executive order complaining about showerheads. I mean the collapsing economy means nothing right?

We’ve set up a new task force to help keep you safe. At the last nationwide protest, 11 MAGA supporters were arrested for assaulting peaceful protesters—thanks to local authorities. We have coalition members at protests across the country to help monitor and stand alongside you.
