TLDR: We’re hiring two research assistants to work on advancing developmental interpretability and other applications of singular learning theory to alignment.

About Us

Timaeus's mission is to empower humanity by making breakthrough scientific progress on alignment. Our research focuses on applications of singular learning theory to foundational problems within alignment, such as interpretability (via “developmental interpretability”), out-of-distribution generalization (via “structural generalization”), and inductive biases (via “geometry of program synthesis”). Our team spans Melbourne, the Bay Area, London, and Amsterdam, collaborating remotely to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in AI safety.
