Independent AI-safety researcher and engineer, working solo without lab affiliation, co-authors, or GPU budget. Designed and open-sourced agentic-redteam-benchmark (2,288 adversarial agent trajectories across 5 failure modes), then ran the first cross-vendor evaluation of frontier LLMs as per-step trajectory monitors: GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini and Claude Haiku 4.5 all cluster at F1 0.66–0.70, showing agentic oversight is unsaturated, not solved. Author of a 13-paper research program built on one discipline: every paper reports a deliberate, checkable self-falsification against my own system. I disproved my own bounded-evasion theorem under a white-box adversary; caught my own “zero hard-block admits” calibration headline as a scale-mismatch artifact through clean-room re-verification (honest recompute: 47); and published two public pre-registrations committed before their test data existed, each freezing the detector, its sha256, the threshold and the scoring rule, with a standing rule against patch-and-re-run. A build-time certification family — independence, non-self-observation, liveness, enactment separation and aggregation licensing, by static analysis of agent-safety code rather than model internals — convicts my own gate and was also run unmodified against 4 external agent frameworks (CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Agents SDK) and against two monitor ensembles published by other authors, from their papers alone. Seeking a mentored research placement, and the independent review a solo author cannot self-serve.

You’re right, and it’s also inconsistent with the post. I had “when there are reserved namespaces, use those” as the guideline, and then said “register your own domain” as the first objection. It’s the latter that I believe is the real objection, and it definitely shouldn’t have been put in an objection.
I was probably thinking of unclaimability as one thing when there are really two: no one else can get the name, and the name doesn’t claim itself. A reserved namespace provides the former but not the latter; one registered by you provides both. So the namespaces from the RFCs are properly reserved as the fallback, where no one is going to own or renew the name.
It is also worse than lexical. The .invalid and .test domains do not resolve, but the failed lookups send the message, even though the domain name itself does not. This depends on the eval, however, and I have not measured it.
