Formerly a software engineer at Google, now I’m doing independent AI alignment research.
Because of my focus on AI alignment, I tend to post more on LessWrong and AI Alignment Forum than I do here.
I’m always happy to connect with other researchers or people interested in AI alignment and effective altruism. Feel free to send me a private message!
Open Phil claims that campaigns to make more Americans go vegan and vegetarian haven’t been very successful. But does this analysis account for immigration?
If people who already live in the US are shifting their diets, but new immigrants skew omnivore, a simple analysis could easily miss the former shift because immigration is fairly large in the US.
