I’m a researcher at Forethought.
Before that, I ran the non-engineering side of the EA Forum and worked on some other content-related tasks at CEA. [More about the Forum/CEA Online job.]
Most of my content (and a more detailed bio) is on my profile on the EA Forum.
Please feel free to reach out!
FYI: the paper is now out.
See also the LW linkpost: METR: Measuring AI Ability to Complete Long Tasks, and a summary on Twitter.
(IMO this is a really cool paper — very grateful to @Thomas Kwa et al. I’m looking forward to digging into the details.)
