About

This is the personal website of Eli Tyre.

I’ve been focused on reducing existential risk from Superintelligence since 2015. I work hard, with the aim of improving the chances that human civilization survives this century, so that we have enough time to figure out how to build a Good (e.g. sane, safe, humane, psychologically-healthy, eudemonic) society.

Institutional affiliation(s)

I am the project lead at Palisade Research, focused on briefing policymakers and the public about the imminent intelligence explosion.

I additionally work part time for the Survival and Flourishing Fund, coordinating x-risk focused grant rounds.

Writing

Musings and Rough Drafts is my personal blog, where I write about whatever is of interest to me at the moment, with wildly varying levels of rigor and polish. Some people have expressed that they found it helpful to them.

I also post on Less Wrong.

I also sometimes write threads on twitter, where my handle is @EpistemicHope. I archive virtually all my threads on threadreader, so you can read them without needing to wade into an attention-harvesting, intention-sapping, social media platform.

Software

I'm a mediocre software engineer, mostly building tools for my own use. My open sourced projects are here.

Adversarial collaborations

I have a standing interest in participating in short (1 to 10 hour), adversarial collaborations. If you think I'm mistaken about something and want to hash it out with me, let me know. I'm probably down.

Other

I’m not bound by a secret NDA that I can’t mention exists.
