What will this site be used for?

<p>This probably won’t be super interesting to read, I’m basically writing it as an accountability mechanism and to set a direction for myself.</p> <h2 id="what-will-i-write-about">What will I write about</h2> <ul> <li>Random side projects I’m working on</li> <li>Thoughts on AI impacts and AI alignment. <ul> <li>These can be both technical and policy, I’m interested in both.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Thoughts about future possibilities in UX design opened up by LLMs and new types of classifier models. <ul> <li>Right now most UX design for LLMs is just iteration on chat interfaces or teaching LLMs how to interface with pre-existing UX paradigms.</li> <li>Chat interfaces are pretty much the most boring direction UX can take. Taking currently existing desktop metaphor UI and replacing it with a magic textbox that does whatever you tell it to is in many ways a regression.</li> <li>UX that centers human interaction modalities while still leveraging new technology may help combat gradual disempowerment (i haven’t fully thought this through and could easily be wrong).</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2 id="how-i-ought-to-write">How I ought to write</h2> <ul> <li>Try to be relatively concise when effortposting. (maybe i should have some tag system for effortposts vs unedited notes)</li> <li>Do not worry too much about posting unedited thoughts. These are notes, not posts or well researched articles.</li> <li>Try and demonstrate epistemic humility without giving into the impulse to couch everything as being written by someone unqualified.</li> <li>If some obvious factual error is made, edit the article to point this out while not hiding the original error.</li> </ul>
