Ross Nordby is technical staff at Anthropic working on AI safety. Before joining Anthropic, he was an independent AI alignment researcher funded by the Long-Term Future Fund, during which he worked on corrigibility frameworks, interpretability, and reinforcement learning environments. His background is in real-time graphics and physics simulation for video games; he created bepuphysics2, a widely-used open-source C# 3D physics engine, and runs Bepu Entertainment LLC. His published alignment work includes the paper "Soft Prompts for Evaluation: Measuring Conditional Distance of Capabilities" (arXiv, May 2025), exploring optimized input embeddings as a metric for latent capability discovery and automated red-teaming of language models, as well as LessWrong posts on using predictors in corrigible systems and AGI timelines. He received an honorable mention in the AI Alignment Awards Research Contest in the corrigibility category. He is based in Chicago, Illinois, and posts on LessWrong under the handle "porby".

Brian Porter

TeamIndividual
Individual

Brian C. Porter is a philosopher and independent AI alignment researcher based in Pittsburgh, PA. He completed his PhD in Philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center in February 2023, where he wrote his dissertation "Three Essays on Substructural Approaches to Semantic Paradoxes" under the supervision of Graham Priest. He subsequently held a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh, working on the Geography of Philosophy Project. His academic research focused on logic, semantic paradoxes, and experimental semantics, particularly the methodology of testing theories of reference for kind terms. He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant to support one year of independent research and upskilling to transition from academic philosophy to AI alignment research, motivated by his view that recent developments in AI make it critical to ensure AI systems are safe, ethical, and aligned with human goals. He also co-authored a 2024 paper in Scientific Reports examining whether AI-generated poetry is distinguishable from human-authored poetry.
