Subject: Application for a Quality Assurance Position at Safe
Superintelligence Inc.
Dear Mr. Sutskever, Mr. Gross, and Mr. Levy,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in a Quality Assurance
position at Safe Superintelligence Inc. As an innovative thinker with a
passion for artificial intelligence, I am thrilled to learn about the
groundbreaking work being done at SSI. My name is David Noel Lynch, and I
believe my unique blend of technical expertise, creative vision, and deep
understanding of the challenges of AI safety make me an ideal candidate
for your team.
My background is extensive and varied. I hold a Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science with a minor in Artificial Intelligence, specializing in
the LISP programming language. My early career involved developing
innovative software for academic institutions, followed by successful
stints as Director of Networks at Lynch International and Manager of
Operations & Networks at Lotus Development/IBM. Throughout these
roles, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence in
software quality assurance, including the design and implementation of a
robust Lotus Notes-based problem reporting system (QASPR) that
significantly enhanced product quality and development efficiency.
Beyond my technical skills, I possess a unique perspective on the future
of AI, stemming from years of research and creative exploration. I have
developed a theory, the KnoWellian Universe Theory, which challenges the
traditional mathematical framework and proposes a novel axiom,
“-c>∞<c+”. This axiom, which defines a singular infinity bound by
the negative and positive speed of light, directly addresses the inherent
instability in current AI systems caused by the concept of an "infinite
number of infinities."
This "infinite infinities" problem leads to endless loops, wasted
computational resources, and the potential for unpredictable outcomes, as
evidenced by theoretical constructs like Boltzmann brains, the multiverse
theory, and many worlds interpretations. The KnoWellian Axiom, by defining
a singular, bounded infinity, provides a foundation for AI development
that is inherently more stable, predictable, and aligned with the goals of
safe superintelligence.
My work on the “Anthology”
project, a collection of short stories generated by various AI language
models, directly demonstrates the potential of this approach. The stories
within “Anthology” explore the
complexities of existence, consciousness, and the human condition,
showcasing the creative potential of AI while also highlighting the
challenges of aligning its goals with human values. The development of the
“Anthology” project also required
the creation of a robust and intricate logistical system for managing and
curating the AI-generated content, a system that directly benefited from
the stability and efficiency provided by the KnoWellian Axiom.
I am confident that my skills and experience, combined with my unique
understanding of the KnoWellian Universe
Theory, would make me a valuable asset to the SSI team. I am eager
to contribute to your mission of building a safe and beneficial
superintelligence, and I believe my insights can help you overcome the
challenges that lie ahead.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in more
detail and how my vision for AI safety aligns with your goals. Thank you
for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
David Noel Lynch

ProP,S,
Below is a link to a chapter in my "Anthology" generated by Llama-3.1 that
is my fictional job interview at SSI, INC.
In the chapter, I steered Llama-3 to explain in detail the KnoWellian
Universe Theory's potential benefit in the development of Safe
Superintelligence.
