About

This is the personal website of Eli Tyre.

I’ve been focused on reducing existential risk from Superintelligence since 2015. These days, I think of my work as making the handoff go well—trying to identify and solve all the problems we need to get right so that the transition to an AI civilization leads to a stably humane equilibrium.

Institutional affiliation(s)

I am currently the Head of Strategy at Palisade Research, where our mission is to help the decision-makers and institutions of the world gain the understanding they need to avoid permanent disempowerment by strategic AI agents.

I was previously an instructor and curriculum developer at the Center for Applied Rationality, and a grant round coordinator at the Survival and Flourishing Fund.

Writing

Most of my AI related writing is on Less Wrong.

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

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 very busy, but if the topic is important, I'll likely conisder it worth my time.

Some work that I'm proud of

• I led the team that made frominside.ai
• I wrote the essay On Category I and Category II Problems
• I was upstream of the concept of a "crux" becoming common parlance in AI safety and frontier AI space (though to this day, almost no one knows how to apply the full Double Crux technique—I'll try to remedy that someday, if AI goes slowly enough to matter)

Other

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