IMO Janus mentoring during MATS 3.0 was quite impactful, as it led @Quentin FEUILLADE—MONTIXI to start his LLM ethology agenda and to cofound PRISM Eval.
I expect that there’s still a lot of potential value in Janus work that can only be realized through making it more legible to the rest of the AI safety community, be it mentoring, posting on LW.
I wish someone in the cyborgism community would pick up the ball of explaining the insights to outsiders. I’d gladly pay for a subscription to their Substack, and help them find money for this work.
I note that Janus was a MATS mentor for at least one iteration, whereas I do not believe that nostalgebraist has been.
