Super exciting!

Congrats Jordan, best of luck! :)

Really valuable work - thank you. Looking forward to the Animal Welfare Alignment Newsletter!

My current guess (as a relatively uninformed outsider) is that actors with some combination of pre-existing domain knowledge, operational access, and (obviously) intent are most concerning.

Re defender-first access: yes definitely seems like a threat (e.g. misuse by insiders, account compromise/coercion, leakage of outputs and workflows, etc). I don't really have more concrete thoughts beyond this though. It would be useful to see a detailed estimate (if there isn't already one internally) on how robust Rosalind Biodefense and Project Glasswing are to this.

Thanks :)

Great post!

Thanks for your comment.

I’m not able to follow what you mean here, could you explain your points more simply?
