SYNOPSIS

Aditya [--verbose] [--with-coffee] (essay | rant)...

DESCRIPTION

Aditya is an AI engineer by trade and a generalist by temperament. A few years in industry before a Master's in AI, with HPC and infrastructure work alongside. Reads across machine learning, AI safety, security, philosophy of mind, and most things that resist a one-line summary. Has opinions, holds them firmly, loses them gracefully to better ones. Publishes here when something resolves into a thought worth writing down.
