A little about me

What really counts are good endings, not flawed beginnings.
~ Ibn Taymiyyah

Some W's:

1. Who
   Software Engineer (AI). From a small village in Allahabad, U.P. — lived across 5 states, currently in Bengaluru.

2. Why
   I kind of have opinions on things, voluntarily or otherwise. This blog just allows me to properly pan them out — keep a trace, share ideas with myself honestly, reiterate, go deeper. That's not to say I'm always right—I can be very wrong, very often. That's fun though, we can be educated together. It also makes it easier to look back and critique my own stuff.
   
   The things I'm most interested in — Theology, (Analytical) Philosophy, Maths, and sometimes Urdu poetry :) I tried sketching recently — 10/10, won't do it again >_<

3. What
   What will I write about? I don't really know. It's not going to be strictly technical though — there are people better than me at that (low bar, I agree). As far as ML/AI is concerned, I love all of it. I believe it to be complex, spectacular, yet purely statistical systems unlike human agents (hot take?). However, there are way too many overarching opinions and zeitgeist trends that I seriously disagree with.

4. My Interests
   Subjects that I'm particularly fond of:

   • AI Ethics & Philosophy of Mind
   • Consciousness & Moral Status
   • Islamic Philosophy & Theology
   • Political Theory & Secularism
   • Corporate Ethics & Collective Responsibility
   • Distributed Systems & Backend Architecture
   • Literature & Urdu Poetry
   • ...and more, you get the idea though.

The views I express are solely my own and do not in any way represent any institute, organization, or community I may be associated with, not that you care, but I still wanted to say it out loud.
