About me

I have been coding since ~2018. Email me here: mutatismutandisetplusultra (the usual symbol) gmail (another symbol) com. Book a meeting here: https://calendly.com/mutatismutandisetplusultra/30min (If you don't know me personally, please send an email first! I do not bite and actually respond to emails, I promise)
I program simulations, tools, toy compilers/languages, games, and multimedia projects/ARGs
My research interests include responsible uses for Large Language Models, AI safety/interpretability (e.g. occlusion sensitivity or risks from unscoped models with broad capabilities), Natural Language Processing (e.g. topic modelling, textual comprehension, and POS tagging) and the institutional incentives for developing AI technology.

Harms from Increasingly Agentic Systems - A paper I was a co-author on, talking about the risks from AI systems we are yielding autonomy to.
AI Generated Multimodal Disinformation Networks - Conference presentation demonstrating some of the capabilities for AI to be used for complex disinformation narratives.
Embedding Modification for Llama 3.2 - A notebook containing some ideas I had for changing the input embeddings of LLMs. In particular, contains the same test-time/inference time training idea as this MIT paper and others, but I could not get confirmation of a performance increase due to limited compute budget.

Socratides - A demo for a narrow AI system that generates human understandable and editable knowledge graphs out of texts that can be pruned and refined to enhance textual analysis. Source code here.
The Savage Computers - A modern web novel about AI, climate change, and the present state of the world. Includes interactive and non-linear elements. Shortlisted for the UK's New Media Writing Prize Student Prize.
Zhengzi Archive - Online facing part of an ARG I ran.
Civsim - Automated generation of civilisations and simulation of their growth and decay.
Journey - Automated D&D questing.
Shellsim - A self-contained simulation of a bash like shell: piping, streaming, internal filesystem

A Clever Name Goes Here - A small substack for occasional pieces related to AI safety, philosophy etc.
Turning 22 in the Pre-Apocalypse - A collection of essays as I face the end of my 21st year on this planet. Covers and questions rationality, AI development, the Humanities, and my own motivations for doing this.
The Savage Computers - In progress web novel and interactive archive of in-universe documents.
Automatic Memory - Issue N - A zine made by me (graphic design + words).
The Shape of Minds to Come - Essay on in-progress mentalities we might develop to face the future.

Nakade.itch.io - My storefront for TTRPGs with some text adventures/CRPGs sometimes.
High Times at the Happy Hour Hotel - Text adventure in a Laundry Files-esque setting with a somewhat complex inventory system.
NOVOS Emulator - An assembly language programming game with a Zachtronics-style manual and 5 levels.
Saturday Night One Shot - D&D themed, simple roguelike with a hand-drawn aesthetic based on rough.js.
The Diplomat - Text adventure game made using ink.
Catacombs of Steel - Automated dungeon crawler/roguelike simulation.

Memex Note - An experimental text editor based on cells in Jupyter notebooks and other funky concepts.
Showmd - Displays markdown files in a semi-pretty way in the shell.
ARG Tools - Tools for running and making ARGs.

Progress Game - Short incremental game with paper.css.
Bytedelver - Unfinished roguelike using rot.js and NES.css.
Mass Defect - Unfinished alchemy-themed incremental game.
Yet Another Web Toolkit - A web playground for developing games, applets, slides, or small fixed-viewport websites. Dangerously unfinished.
oldbook.css - A CSS theme that draws from old books. For some reason, my most popular project by far. No JS needed. I'm working on a new version of this.
neoweb.css - Another CSS theme, with a demo page. No JS needed.
