I don't wanna go to heaven, I wanna go where the cats go
Me as a child
My name is Ronen, but some friends call me Rain. I like to think about me as Raining. It's raining now. Some day, it will stop raining, and I will no longer be. It's more accurate to think about the world as verbs, not nouns.

Reducing suffering activist, pro-animal entrepreneur, EA person, into AI welfare and AI safety (and they are more complimentary, less contradictive, than people tend to think)
43 years old, but age is just a number that indicates how close you are being really old and dying.

I Play soccer
I see the extermination of the free and the slaughter of the enslaved everywhere. We are a civilization based on atrocities towards non-humans. It is all one big slaughterhouse, which have different shapes and forms...

Plans for future: Something that combines AI, ethics, and maybe language.
I write fables and other short pieces, some of them are only in Hebrew (sorry).
Unsure about many things here but more certain that these subjects are important to think and act on.
I'm very sure we should work hard for a slaughterless world, stop wild animal genocide, and take AI welfare very seriously.
Pretty sure you, specifically you, personally you 🫵🏼 I mean, not the general reader, should follow an impact career or earning to give.
Written by me, not LLMs
LLMs help with phrasing, thinking about some ideas, designing visuals, but it is my own thinking
