Hi! My name is Chris Lakin.
what I’m doing now
updated jan 21 2025 from san francisco
research
researching human alignment and philosophical AI alignment: “How do decentralized systems of smaller parts (humans, groups, AIs, etc.) successfully align to form larger, coherent agents while preserving autonomy and enabling meaningful cooperation?”
i study alignment “in the wild” (via humans).
my research is self-directed and funded by my clients, patrons, and an aligned AI company (currently stealth).
social events
i run unhinged social events in sf: Extreme Awkwardness, Intentionally Awkward Flirting, Make Eye Contact or Go to Jail, dog massage, etc.
