Chris Painter of METR is building a team in Washington DC to bring trustworthy communication about alignment and recursive self-improvement (RSI) to the public and policymakers. He explicitly seeks nonstandard applicants, including people new to AI safety and those with competing viewpoints — even skeptics who think RSI is unlikely soon but believe evidence should be shared openly. The team's core mission is explaining METR's loss-of-control risk assessments and goals to policymakers.
