Hi, I'm Grace, welcome to my site!
Here are a few things I'm interested in right now:
- Ideonomy
The life and work of Patrick Gunkel. He was a futurist at MIT who dedicated his life to formulating a "science of ideas". I've written an introduction to ideonomy which may serve as a good starting point before diving into Gunkel's original works. Related: my explorations of properties and dimensions in Ideonomy and negation in Ideonomy.
- Cyborgism
An internet subculture primarily dedicated to research on Large Language Model behavior. They are loosely centered around Janus, who created a theoretical framework of large language models called Simulator Theory. A lot of their content is esoteric and somewhat difficult to sort through, but as with Gunkel, it is interesting and useful if you're willing to invest some time.
- Machine Behavior and Human-AI Interaction
Machine Behavior is the study of the behavior of intelligent machines (this includes much of the research output of Cyborgism but covers other areas as well). Human-AI Interaction is the study of relationships between humans and AI systems. Related: my list of novel uses for LLMs and advantages of AI therapists.
- AI Alignment
I'm broadly interested in AI alignment / AI safety. A good starting point for understanding prior work in this area may be found on the AI Alignment Forum. Related: my proposal for a Three-Facet Framework for AI Alignment, interactive demonstration of Levels of Agency, and satirical essay on preparing the world for superintelligence.
