Writings here span evolutionary biology, game theory, philosophy, the extremity to which modern society is different from what we evolved in, and whatever else I feel connects to the strange place the Earth is and how we all appeared with consciousness here and have to deal with it. I'm also very interested in how AI is shaping the information landscape, how we form beliefs and make decisions, why education needs a heavy overhaul now that AI exists, how to characterize the behavior of LLMs and define them better, and detailed measurement of how work across tasks is shifting as AI takes over what it holds comparative advantage in — writing, art, coding. Also on Substack.
AI hasn't just made information cheaper to find — it's collapsed the entire cost structure of acquiring, distributing, and repackaging knowledge. The thing that used to differentiate people (knowing stuff) is now basically free, which means the actual differentiator is logic: the ability to select, frame, judge, and reason about information.
