My name is Mikhail Samin / Михаил Самин (diminutive Misha / Миша, sometimes @Mihonarium on social media). I'm 22. I'm an effective altruist, I worry about the future of humanity and want the universe not to lose most of its value.
I took the Giving What We Can pledge to donate at least 10% of my income for the rest of my life or until the day I retire (why? twitter.com/Mihonarium/status/1564360126202617863). It seems that I have good intuitions about the AI alignment problem; some full-time alignment researchers told me that they were able to improve their understanding of the problem after talking to me.
I'm currently working on EA & AI Alignment outreach (e.g., I'm organising a translation of the 80,000 Hours' Key Ideas series and partnering with Vert Dider for a translation and dubbing of Rob Miles’ videos) and considering switching to direct alignment research.
