About me

History:

• DOB 2001-01-03, Male. Completed schooling in Delhi 2018, Graduated IIT Delhi biochem engg BTech+MTech 2023. Worked at cryptocurrency startup Rari Capital. Have basic skills in software, finance, biotech and probably some other topics too.

Immediate goal

• I wish to support whistleblowers of companies building superintelligent AI, to leak information to the general public.
  • 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
  • Similar projects supporting whistleblowers: Wikileaks, SecureDrop
  • Some popular people's views on AI risk: Geoffrey Hinton's views, Yoshua Bengio's views, Dan Hendrycks' letter, Eliezer Yudkowsky's views

I am looking for funding and for a cofounder.

Request for $20,000 to support AI whistleblowers

My latest research: Open source search, Distributed hosting of leaked documents, SecureDrop review, Open source weaponry, Long-term view on information, tech and society, Intelligence explosion

My latest project: Books Search for Researchers

Notable influences: cypherpunks mailing list and its successors such as Tor/Signal/blockchain, extropians mailing list and its successors such as EA/lesswrong.

Current location: Bangalore, India. Willing to shift if funded.

Broader goals

• I support a complete global ban on building superintelligent AI.
  • In the absence of any political action otherwise, I currently guess 25% probability of superintelligent AI being built by 2030. This could lead to human extinction or stable dictatorship that lasts centuries.
• I am accelerating towards a world with fewer secrets.
  • Almsot every organisation on Earth benefits from suppressing some truths inconvenient to the goals of its members.
  • If it became common knowledge that it is easy to get away with leaking secrets of intelligence agencies, this will embolden people to leak secrets of all other organisations.
  • A world with no secrets looks radically different from our current world as of 2025. My guess is it'll be better.
• I am searching for ideologies and political institutions for safe technological progress
  • I don't have a fully general solution for this yet.
  • As of 2025-06, my best bets are the above ideas (leak and open source everything, coordinate via internet, coordinate to shutdown R&D of tech that can't be handled well by current institutions)
