I'm Trey Causey. I work on artificial intelligence & machine learning in Seattle, WA.

I spend most of my time thinking about how to use AI responsibly to accelerate an abundant future.

Most recently I was the Head of Responsible Technology at Indeed.

core
ideas

As an unapologetic generalist, these are some of the core ideas that have shaped my worldview.

(01) Progress and abundance

Progress studies, up-wing politics, supply-side progressivism, and building a better future, faster.

(02) Collective action

More accurately, collective action problems.

(03) Institutional analysis

Backlash effects, policy feedback, mimetic isomorphism, Conway's Law, and brokerage via structural holes.

(04) Scientism

Most published research findings are false. Selection on the dependent variable is rampant.
