About Me
GitHub, LessWrong profile, LinkedIn, Website and Resume
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 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.
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.
