About

My name is Dave Banerjee, and I am a security engineer at The Cake Shop Capital. I recently graduated from Columbia University where I studied computer science. My academic interest interests lie in information security, AI, ethics, physics, and cognitive science, but these interests are always subject to change. I have a research background in physics and AI explainability. I have since shifted my focus towards philosophy and AI security. I think studying philosophy and AI security will equip me with the tools to tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems. Some problems I care an awful lot about include AI safety & governance, wild animal welfare, and factory farming.

On my blog, I share ideas I find cool and interesting. My primary goal with this blog is to formulate my opinions more carefully, critically evaluate my beliefs, and enhance my writing and research skills. Although I primarily write for myself, I hope you enjoy exploring my thoughts and learning more about the world alongside me.

In the projects section, I document my research projects, programming projects, and other longer-form intellectual projects.

In my free time, you can find me rock climbing, going to raves, reading, thrifting, dancing, or folding laundry.
