Given Sam Eisenstat’s previous work, including from 2025, it seems worth continuing to support him, including supporting researchers. I still believe in this stuff being worth working on, obviously only support if you do as well. He’s funded for now but that’s still only limited runway.

To donate, contact sam@intelligence.org.
