Hi, I'm Jacques Thibodeau. I'm a 32-year-old French Canadian currently working to reduce risks from superintelligent AGI as an AI alignment researcher. I hope to make significant progress and collaborate with intelligent, hard-working people to align AI. You can see what I'm working on here. For my comments on AI alignment, here's my LessWrong profile.

In this blog, I focus on publishing my work on AI alignment and discussing the flourishing of all beings. I will also write about whatever interests me since I'd like to get into the habit of producing content.

My long-term goal is to create a world with less unintentional suffering and prevent any existential risks to humanity. I am working on reducing risks from AI because I believe superintelligent AI will be the most consequential human invention. It has the potential to enable unimaginable high levels of well-being or cause human extinction. Given my values, reducing risks from AI is, therefore, the most important thing for me to pursue.

At the highest level, I want to help humanity meet their needs in life and experience feelings of transcendence. For a quick summary of what this means, go here. Or read the book which taught me about transcendence (it's not in the woo-woo sense): Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization.

My way of life is very much shaped by some form of Valuism.
