Immediate goal

1. I will be leading one-week hunger strike livestreamed in September 2025, in protest of those building superintelligent AI.

• Contact me for more info or to join me.

2. Enable whistleblowers of companies building superintelligent AI to leak information to the general public.

• What?
  • I am working on a guide for whistleblowers.
  • I can provide high-quality technical education for journalists or youtubers on a) how to safely accept and handle leaked documents b) AI risk as a political cause
• Work done so far
  • Whistleblower Database, Whistleblower Guide
• Similar projects
  • Supporting whistleblowers: Wikileaks, SecureDrop
  • Experts' AI forecasts: Video (short version) Video (long version), Dan Hendrycks' CAIS letter, Eliezer Yudkowsky's TIME article
• Support me
  • Fund me: Request for $20,000 to support AI whistleblowers
  • Work with me: Provide me feedback or do fact-checking for me. Especially interested in people with legal expertise in US or international law. Part-time or full-time possible.
• Long-term plan
  • I support a complete ban on building superintelligent AI. I think humanity might go extinct by 2030 if not for a ban. Leaked information could help with coordinating a ban.
  • I can accelerate towards a world with fewer secrets. Resulting world may be radically different than ours. I think individual freedom can be protected despite lack of privacy, if everyone trying to suppress your freedom also lacks privacy when taking such actions.

  • Research: SecureDrop review, Open source weaponry, Long-term view on information, tech and society, Intelligence explosion, AI forecasts
  • Software: Books Search for Researchers, Open source search
