Research associateship isn't a full time MIRI position -- I'll be doing research in addition to my day job.
By the way, what exactly is your position at Google?
Also, will you agree to update this post in a year or two to add some perspective?
Update, ~1 year later: I am a full-time MIRI research fellow now, and it's been one hell of a year.
I've maintained my high productivity consistently since last year. I wrote twelve papers over the course of the year, nine as the primary author, three as a secondary author. I compiled the MIRI technical agenda and the MIRI research guide. I attended five conferences, and I've flown around the world to talk with many different people about related topics. I've learned a ton.
Public discourse about AI x-risk has advanced far faster than I expected, thanks in large part to Bostrom's Superintelligence and the the Future of Life institute. The field is growing much faster than expected. These are exciting times, and I'm grateful that I was granted the opportunity to throw myself into the thick of things.
9 single author research papers is extremely impressive! Well done.
Software Engineer. I'm happy to post an update in a year or two, but you may need to remind me then.
Thank you. I will try to remember.
If you send an email to "1year@followupthen.com" with a reminder for yourself, you'll get an email reminder in 1 year.
Cool, thanks. I should have known that someone had devised a simple electronic solution to the problem :)
