Hi, I’m Louis! I’m a technical AI safety researcher, musician, and CS+Phil grad.
News
- I am currently doing MATS 9.1, extending my main programme work with [Victoria Krakovna] until October.
- Over the course of the main programme (Jan-Mar), I pivoted from thinking directly about evaluation awareness to building an automated scaffold for carrying out ‘science of evals’ work.
- I’ve now completed the first release version of the scaffold, so I’ll be (a) applying it myself to generate novel research insights; and (b) further developing it in response to feedback from other frontier researchers (at GDM, Apollo, UK AISI, and MATS).
- I have also accepted a fully-funded offer to begin the [AIMS CDT] DPhil programme in Oxford from October!
- The first year of the programme is dedicated to learning, reading widely, and carrying out mini-projects, after which I will decide on a supervisor for the rest of the DPhil.
