Immediate goal

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 by others
  - 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
- Support me
  - Request for $20,000 to support AI whistleblowers
  - I am looking for funding and for a cofounder.
- Long-term plan
  - I support a complete ban on building superintelligent AI. Leaked information could help with that.
  - I can accelerate towards a world without secrets and where the truth cannot be suppressed. Resulting world may be radically different than ours. Going after AI companies is a test run for going for any origanisation on Earth.
- Previous work
  - Research: SecureDrop review, Open source weaponry, Long-term view on information, tech and society, Intelligence explosion, Open source search
  - Software: Books Search for Researchers

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