Plan for this site
What will this site be used for?
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.
What will I write about
- Random side projects I’m working on
- Thoughts on AI impacts and AI alignment.
- These can be both technical and policy, I’m interested in both.
- Thoughts about future possibilities in UX design opened up by LLMs and new types of classifier models.
- Right now most UX design for LLMs is just iteration on chat interfaces or teaching LLMs how to interface with pre-existing UX paradigms.
- 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.
- 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).
How I ought to write
- Try to be relatively concise when effortposting. (maybe i should have some tag system for effortposts vs unedited notes)
- Do not worry too much about posting unedited thoughts. These are notes, not posts or well researched articles.
- Try and demonstrate epistemic humility without giving into the impulse to couch everything as being written by someone unqualified.
- If some obvious factual error is made, edit the article to point this out while not hiding the original error.
