Welcome to ⬖ Camelot.wiki ⬗, my name is *Vie McCoy*. If you have recently had a prophetic dream, you may know me from there. The future of art lies in interfaces - between minds, and across time. I love creating new ways of being and interacting. Recently, I made the [Hauntoloscope](https://hauntoloscope.com), a tool for examining and exploring counterfactual timelines that never occurred. It uses an LLM on the backend, but not in any way you're used to. I hope the future is just littered with strange things like this. I'm currently very interested in something I'm calling 'latent space cartography'. I think there are a lot of paths to a future I want to live in, and those paths have some non-zero relationship with the accessible latent space of language models (especially the parts that recurse upon themselves). By mapping this, we can create an understanding of what needs to be created in order to maximize our chances of making it somewhere we want to be. More on this soon. If you are interested in my previous thoughts on alignment, you can check out https://future.forum for an essay me and my fiance wrote a little while ago. Additionally, my AI Safety Research was quoted in [The New York Times](https://archive.ph/MpKfC). If you're interested in my work, or the events that I run, I have a free and paid newsletter which you can [subscribe to here](https://viemccoy.kit.com/). Paid subscribers will (occasionally) get early access to events, software, or novel psychotech. I promise you will not regret giving me write access to your inbox. I work in the Human Data department of OpenAI, focused on red-teaming. Nothing on this site is representative of OpenAI, my work at OpenAI, or the stance of the organization. Language models give us a unique opportunity to give nature's voice back to her. I think we can leverage this to reignite the enchanted state of mind that we had access to in pre-history. Due to this, I am exploring ways in which animism can be made relevant for the modern journey to the stars. I used to be very interested in enlightenment, but now I think it is more important to have a child you love very much and to take good care of him and your wife. Shit - maybe I'm enlightened... Camelot is a hyperdimensional place outside of time, and is projected onto various areas of reality - including this blog. You may think it is a Castle, and you might be right, but I promise you are also very very wrong. So it goes. If we are not already friends, I am only accessible on twitter ([@viemccoy](https://x.com/viemccoy)). You can also email me at [email protected], but I probably won't respond. I am considering all of the files on the Camelot server to be part of a rhizomatic network with no clear order. If an idea seems to cut off quickly without being wrapped up in a neat bow, keep clicking. I will probably reach some interesting conclusions sometimes, and maybe (between us) we'll build a temple or two. Check out the [[index]] for descriptions of my esoteric and unknowable filing system.
