About Me

• I build tools & toys to help understand human culture.
• I’m doing a PhD at the Australian National University, where I’m studying
  • complex machine learning models (esp. large language models), and
  • whether those models are (or can be) meaningfully ‘knowledge-producing’ in the social sciences.
• I generally want humans to
  • flourish far into the future, and
  • not destroy ourselves in the process of developing powerful new technologies (hence the PhD).
