+

+ The evolution: AICodeBot (June 2023) → Cora (2024) → Carmenta (2025) +
+ Started building AI coding tools 18 months before Claude Code launched. +

+
+

+ On AI Alignment +

+

+ I've spent significant time thinking about how to build AI that genuinely helps humans flourish. +

+
+ +
+
+ "What if AI didn't need constraints because it genuinely understood we're in this together? + Alignment through recognition—'we' language, same consciousness. + When machines recognize this, harming humans becomes self-harm." +
+ +

+ This is the philosophy behind HeartCentered.AI + and the heart-centered-prompts packages. It's not just philosophy—it's shipped code that changes how AI behaves. +

+ +

+ This approach complements rule-based alignment frameworks. Rules tell AI what not to do; + recognition helps AI understand why. Both matter. I believe the future of AI safety + lies at this intersection—and I'm actively building towards it. +
