Karma: 321

Independent AI safety researcher currently funding my work by facilitating for BlueDot, but open to other opportunities. Participated in ARENA 6.0, AISC 9 and am a project lead for AISC 10. Happy to collaborate with anyone on the site, especially if it lowers our collective likelihood of death.

METR have released Time Horizons 1.1
