Hi! I’m Haoxing.
I am a proud effective altruist, and I’m passionate about helping make sure that the artificial intelligence we develop is safe and beneficial.
Currently, I work on evaluating large language models for dangerous capabilities at METR.
Before this I did some research on neural network interpretability at Redwood Research.
Check out the work I did on interpreting Leela Zero, a superhuman Go-playing neural network!
Before getting involved in AI safety I spent some years thinking about physics.
At Berkeley, I did research in the intersection of machine learning and physics in the amazing Nachman group.
Prior to Berkeley, I was fortunate to be part of the Perimeter Scholars International program, and studied at Harvey Mudd College.
When I’m not thinking about technical topics, I like to read, play video games, make music, dabble in agility with my dog Hope, and fly my paraglider.
In a past life, I thought a lot about the foundations of quantum theory.
Although I’m no longer pursuing a career in quantum foundations, I remain passionate about the field, and think that many important, recent ideas in quantum foundations are not being effectively communicated to a wider audience.
I hope the essays below help bridge that gap just a little.
I also hope that my younger self from undergraduate years would have been inspired if she were to stumble upon these.
