A high-signal person to follow for the part of alignment research that asks whether a model’s stated reasoning can actually be trusted and measured.

People worth exploring next because they share topics, labs, or source material with this profile.
A high-signal page for anyone tracking whether model reasoning traces are actually trustworthy, not just fluent explanations pasted on after the fact.
A strong person to follow for how Anthropic moved from assistant training into more explicit evaluation work around model behavior, red-teaming, and chain-of-thought faithfulness.
A good person to follow for the part of alignment work that becomes concrete measurement: model-written tests, chain-of-thought faithfulness, and behavior-shaping methods that can actually be audited.
Worth tracking for the newer evaluation thread at Anthropic, especially where failure-mode discovery and faithfulness measurement extend beyond the original RLHF papers.
Important because he sits near the boundary between alignment theory and concrete failure-mode discovery, especially jailbreaks, preference training, and behavior evaluations.
