Trust me

Disclaimer

• Quick note, Incomplete
• Intended audience - anyone trying to figure out whether they should long-term collaborate with me or not.
• Contains politically sensitive info

Values and proof of trust

• Integrity
  • I generally mean what I say, and do what I say I will do.
  • Historical track record of high integrity, see for example internet forum posts since childhood, or my previous educational and work experience, or my financial track record.
  • I use disclaimers when I'm exploring ideas I'm not yet certain about.
• Openness
  • I have lots of opinions that society considers unpopular and am fairly open about it.
  • I am generally not willing to lie about this even if offered significant reward for doing so. (I think some people who are willing to hide their opinions for money are directly leading to the end of the world.)
  • This is a calculated decision on my part. I am aware there are pros and cons.
  • If I do acquire significant attention, I might choose to only signal boost some ideas and not others. But even so, I'm generally not actively hiding the other ideas, though I might not signal boost them as much.
• Moral values
  • No criminal record
  • Have significant social circle who can attest to my personality traits
  • I don't fully support liberalism but I'm more-or-less liberal in my day-to-day social interactions. Unless you wield a significant amount of power, most probably you are not a threat to me and I am not a threat you. If you wield a significant amount of power, then it is more complicated.
  • I am openly willing to harm the lives of many people in order to pursue political objectives. I generally lean towards "greater good justifies some harm".
    • I strongly support spreading fear and panic in general population due to AI risks, even though this comes with downsides such as poor mental health and suicides in general population. (I am working on this as of 2025-10.)
    • I support public shaming and leaking of private info of people working at labs building superintelligent AI. (I have previously worked on a project to support whistleblowers.)
    • I support cyberattacks on Big Tech companies. (I am not working on this as of 2025-10.)
    • I do not support threats of physical violence or actual violence against people working at labs building superintelligent AI. I refuse to make public claims on whether I support assassinations of the leaders of AI labs.
• Personality traits and values
  • What do I most want out of my life? Knowledge > Power > Freedom >> Community > Acceptingness
  • If you're into this stuff, I am Blue and Black on Duncan Sabien's colour wheel, with a hint of Red I have suppressed in favour of Black.
  • I probably have my Big Five results saved somewhere, but can't find them to post them right now.

Collaboration

• If you agree with most of my beliefs and plans
  • We can hopefully collaborate a lot
• If you disagree with me on beliefs or moral values, but think I have integrity
  • Limited collaboration may be possible. I also accept anonymous email.
• If you aren't convinced I have integrity
  • Let me know what datapoints (about my past or future) could change your mind. I am aware the info above is not sufficient for me to win everyone's trust.
