I am Léo Cymbalista, one of the Dovetail fellows since November 2025. I’m a physics undergraduate in the process of switching to theoretical AI safety research. My current research project is writing an explainer for computational mechanics, which is almost finished. I hope to use the knowledge I acquired while researching for it to answer questions such as “given 2 coupled stochastic processes, when can we say that one is modeling the other?”, which could be useful for investigating the presence of world models in agents.
I have only known about LW (and AI safety) for about a year, so I’m still not very familiar with it, but it seems very interesting so far!
