Bio

I have been working as an semi-independent AI Existential Safety researcher for a couple years now. I have a lot of very general but fairly shallow experience in a range of adjacent spaces. I've also done my share of vegan activism :)

In the last iteration of this program I helped with writing What Failure Looks Like for Animals.

I am especially interested in projects that involve: - Using AI to facilitate coalition building / coordination, and to empower advocates - Relating to AI systems as partners in mutually beneficial trade - Questions / cruxes related to how concerns about artificial sentience might intersect with AI Safety
