FOSS and prosocial AI fanatic.

Trying to build AI (virtual assistants) that trully assist rather than manipulate us.

Aspire to practical utilitarianism - greatest good for the greatest number for the longest possible amount of time.

Disillusioned by longtermism -- billionaires and their academic cronies focus on legacy, or feel good projects, or imagined future suffering. Those with privilege and power must acknowledge their uncertainty and support those in need **now**.

admin of my tiny instance. This sucker runs totally on a Raspberry Pi 4. The database and Mastodon data live on the NAS and email on it was just left hanging. I'm a terrible admin, I guess. At least it's now backing up to the magic cloud. No, you can't have an invite, I don't want that much responsibility. My OG account is on @unclemarc - you can follow me there as well if you like.

In Real Life, I manage a team of Technical Account Managers at #RedHat.
