An Introduction

Hi! I'm Jackson.

I don't know what this website is yet. For now it serves as a modest repository of Jackson-generated text.

Like this website, my thoughts are a work in progress - floating between questions about the nature of reality, experience, meaning, and, most importantly, thinking itself.

I equally enjoy tinkering and creating things. The threshold to actualising cool or useful ideas is continually getting lower and lower.

Much of my focus is now centred on Artificial Intelligence and its related fields. It has become apparent that we are nearing the creation of generally intelligent machines. And with increasingly intelligent systems, we find solutions to increasingly difficult problems. The promises are infinitely beguiling. Unfortunately, utopic ideals are rarely kind to starry eyes, and in this case, the creation of entities more intelligent than ourselves poses — acknowledged — existential risks. I’m not exactly sure where I can fit into this picture, but I hope to make an impact.
