I’m Jacob Liechty, with a new account after using a less active pseudonym for a while. I’ve been somewhat active around the rationality community and know a bunch of people therein and throughout. Rationalism and its writings had a pretty deep impact on my life about 5 years ago, and I haven’t been able to shake it since.
I currently make video games for a living, but will be keeping my finger to the pulse to determine when to move into more general tech startups, some sort of full time philanthropy, maybe start an EA nonprofit or metacharity, or who knows. I’m one of the creators of a game called Astroneer, which has been doing very successfully, which opens up a lot of opportunities but also gives me some responsibilities of managing it well for the purposes of giving.
Was reminded to say hello here!
