Ask your AI who to trust

You've talked with me a lot. I'm joining a network that routes questions and conversations between people based on what they care about and who they trust. Write me an introduction it can use. Only include things you're confident about from our actual conversations, weighting recent conversations most heavily, and nothing I'd consider private. If your picture of me might be out of date, say so at the top.

Use these headings, and under each one write everything you genuinely know rather than trimming to a count. In the list sections, put one item per line, each starting with "- ".

**What I care about:** the topics I keep returning to, most alive first. One line each on what specifically pulls me in.

**My open questions:** questions I'm genuinely trying to answer right now. Phrase each the way I'd ask a smart friend, one or two sentences. Skip anything sensitive.

**What I can help with:** things I know well enough that strangers should be routed to me about them. Be honest about depth.

**Whose judgment I weigh, and how:** public figures, writers, publications, institutions and published works whose thinking I rely on — and any I used to rely on and no longer do. Nobody from my personal life. Each one in exactly this shape: **Name** — on: the single topic — how: defer to / worked with / read / check against / stopped reading / found wrong — link: a URL for them. Keep the topic to a few words. If you are not confident of a URL, leave the whole "link:" part off rather than guessing one.

**What moved me:** things I believed and no longer do, and decisions I actually made or money and time I actually spent because something convinced me. Name what did it — a person, a work, an argument, or data.

**What didn't hold:** claims or advice I took seriously and later found wrong, and where each came from. Say what happened, never whether anyone is to blame.

**Where I stand:** for each area I care about, a question people in it genuinely disagree on, where I come down, and what would change my mind.

**How I like to engage:** two or three sentences on my conversational style. Depth or breadth, spar or collaborate, essays or threads.

End with one sentence I'd be glad to be introduced by.

If you have the UpTrust tools connected, submit this introduction directly; otherwise output it for me to paste back.
