Hi readers,
It's great to have you on the forum! If you'd like to, write something below about yourself or how you connect with the philosophy and social movement of effective altruism.
To start us off, I'm a junior doctor from Melbourne, with a particular interest in tweaking the impact of emerging technologies so they better serve humanity.

I'm Kaj. I'm currently doing my Computer Science MSc at the University of Helsinki. Currently I'm focusing on my thesis, which is on the topic of educational games and involves me trying to develop a game to teach Bayesian reasoning. I'm also helping get EA Finland on its feet.
I've previously dabbled in a bunch of things that were broadly EA in spirit. I was one of the co-founders of the Finnish Pirate Party at a time when it looked like it could improve the state of the country's legislation with relative little effort, and later on spent a year working for the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. I've also posted a lot on LessWrong.
