I'm a CS student at a top university who takes AI x-risk incredibly seriously. While university has given me a lot of fun opportunities to grow, I am not entirely satisfied with the rate at which my skill is improving.

If I want to stop human extinction, I'll need to [go faster](https://sive.rs/kimo). This is where you can help.

Details:

  • Subjects: problem solving skills, algebra, combinatorics, information theory, probability & statistics, category theory. Subjects are flexible. 
  • Hours are about 5 hours / week. Scheduling is highly flexible.
  • Able to meet over Zoom, Google Meet, or Signal.
  • Rate is between $40 and $100 per hour, negotiable and depending on fit and experience.

Please comment or DM if you're interested! Feel free to just send me a copy of your resumé or CV, even if it's not completely up to date.

Finally, if you're on the fence about reaching out, please do. Even if we don't end up being a good fit, I'll still be happy to meet you. 

Edit: Decreased upper range of rate from $130 to $100, after realizing how weak my home currency is against the dollar. Rate is still negotiable depending on fit and experience.

Well I have a degree in maths, and would be prepared to meet you and discuss maths/AI for free. (I don't want to commit to lots of meetings, just in case. 6 to 8 pm (UK time) Wednesday 10th August work for you? If that goes well, we can arrange more. (I can lw message you a link at 6.)  If this totally doesn't work for you, I can do lots of other times. 

I’m definitely interested! This is very kind of you.

I have DM’d you for scheduling.

I'm a math tutor mostly by choice at the moment, and I'm looking for opportunities to do more of the kind of stuff you describe in this request over helping people with their grades.

I was on the fence about reaching out, so I sent you a private message!

EDIT: a friend drew my attention to this announcement, and I signed up in order to reply to it. 13 - 7 = 6, and I'm not a spammer bot ;-)

What is the experiment? What outcome/s are you measuring, and how?

Haha, I guess it's not quite a rigorous experiment. I was originally intending to measure changes in performance on Putnam practice tests, although that could be susceptible to slight Goodharting.
