Hi, I'm Jacques Thibodeau. I'm a 31-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 smart, hard-working people to align AI. You can see what I'm working on at the moment here. For my comments on AI alignment, here's my LessWrong profile.

On this blog, I focus on publishing my work on AI Alignment and talking about 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 suffering and prevent any existential risks to humanity. 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.

It's important for me to leave that information here as I want to remind myself that everything I do is for the betterment of humanity and all beings.

In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and singing for fun, martial arts, mentoring people, making friends and talking about AI on Twitter, and experiencing and learning new things.

I'm currently focused on dating to meet my life partner! If you think we'd be a good match, consider looking at my "dating doc"! I know this is a bit unusual, but I'm doing this because I want to meet someone I truly connect with and not limit myself to my physical location. These days we're so lucky to meet people online with similar values and interests, let's take advantage of that!
