Recent updates
Due to lack of time to update my Substack, this page is for a shortened update on my recent thoughts.
These are probably the topics you’d like to start if you’re interested in listening to me talking non-stop.
Working on (and I think they’re cool & fun)…
- recently in charge of internal lectures about values, limitations and risks in AI products in my current job.
- working on studies about agent evaluation pipeline development to extend my interest in technical AI safety.
- thinking on how to achieve higher AI interpretability (especially mech interp) combining previous experiences in neuroscience and connectome studies.
- drafting digital rights lessons plans for junior high students with colleagues in judicial reform foundation.
- self-studying Spanish, German and Thai at the same time (with only limited proficiency in Spanish, at least for now, since I just started German and Thai few months ago).
Living with…
- 🥃 keen on trying all types of gin tonic with different gin (with friends) and scotch, with a particular love in brandy cask (with myself).
- 🥊 taking boxing courses with my friend Leon.
- 🎮 trying to make time for replaying one of my favorite games Nine Sols.
- 📺 rewatching Better Call Saul, recently just finished rewatching Suits, Breaking Bad and Adolescence
Recent thoughs (also to remind myself)…
- I’ve spent time in industry roles solving AI efficiency and commercial value, and I’ve seen how models behave in production and its risks of unmonitored deployment. I want to apply the same technical rigor to safety-critical domains. Instead of optimizing for accuracy, I’d like to move toward optimizing for interpretability and robustness.
- Always remember to take a look around, are the people working with you still the people you want to work with? Do you still hold the same caring of values? Are they still your allies?
- If you feel unconfidence on your ability, just continue learning or ask for guidance from mentors to remove the blocking issue. Don’t let the existential crisis slip in and do nothing.
