Career
I'm working on various projects related to
AI alignment. I
advise and sometimes do part-time work for
Sage, a forecasting organization
I cofounded. I previously worked at
Ought on the AI research assistant
Elicit.
Writing
Some writing I've (co-)authored that I am happiest about:
AI Research
During my last year of college, I co-created
TextAttack, a Python
framework for adversarial attacks in NLP. See the
paper or
blog post. We also published a
paper arguing for
stricter evaluation of adversarial examples in NLP. While at Ought, I
co-created the
RAFT Benchmark
Effective Altruism
I'm part of the
effective altruism
movement, which aims to use reason and evidence to improve the world as
much as possible. I've taken the
Giving What We Can Pledge
to donate at least 10% of my lifetime income to charities I think are
the most effective, and ideas I learned about due to effective altruism
have had a large impact on my career decisions. I write more about
effective altruism
here.
Miscellany
Battlecode
I competed in
Battlecode for
several years, a competition for high-school and college students to
program the best bot to win a strategy game. My team advanced to the top
4 3 out of 6 years. See
the README here for more.
Clash Royale
During the end of high school and beginning of college, I was addicted
to the mobile game, Clash Royale, did well in a few competitions and
built up a bit of a following before quitting. My YouTube channel was
here.
Speedcubing
During middle school and early in high school, I spent a lot of time
solving Rubik's cubes as fast as I could (and doing them one-handed and
blindfolded). My WCA profile is
here; I was decent but not world class.
