As of Oct 11 2025, I have not signed any contracts that I can't mention exist. I'll try to update this statement at least once a year, so long as it's true. I added this statement thanks to the one in the gears to ascension's bio.
Something you didn't mention, but which I think would be a good idea, would be to create a scientific proof of concept of this happening. E.g. take a smallish LLM that is not doom-y, finetune it on doom-y documents like Eliezer Yudkowsky writing or short stories about misaligned AI, and then see whether it became more misaligned.
I think this would be easier to do, and you could still test methods like conditional pretraining and gradient routing.
