I appreciate the detail, thanks. In particular, I had wrongly assumed that the handbook had been written much earlier, such that even Vivek could have been shown it before deciding to work with you. This also makes more sense of your comments that “writing the handbook” was indicative of effort on your part, since our July interaction.
Overall, I retain my very serious concerns, which I will clarify in another comment, but am more in agreement with claims like “Nate has put in effort of some kind since the July chat.”
The next two MIRI hires both mentioned to me that they’d read my communication handbook
Noting that at least one of them read the handbook because I warned them and told them to go ask around about interacting with you, to make sure they knew what they were getting into.
