Hi, my name is Eris. I'm researching LLMsp(doom) ~= 40%, and I'm also a software developer and photographer.<br>I'm currently studying for a computer science/psychology degreeof dubious usefulness in the near future and<br>doing AI safety researchCurrently focused on mechanistic interpretability and activation steering. as part of SPAR Spring 2026.<br>I'm working on a variety of smaller projects at the moment, which I hope to present here in the near future.<br>My most recent major technical project was Instruct Vectors, showing that it is possible to train (via descent) a vector which causes a base model<br>to behave like an instruct or chat tuned model with no modification of the weights, using very minimal data.<br>I write a blog, available here and on substack, though the substack obviously doesn't have any of the interactive elements, styling, and so on. You should probably read the<br>posts here and then go like or leave comments on substack.<br>Between projects, I fill time with reading, gaming, and a variety of less interesting activities. I<br>maintain a list of lists, including book recommendations (Top favorites are Accelerando and Glasshouse by Stross, Anathem by Stephenson, Diaspora by Egan, and Geometry for Ocelots by Exurb1a). I also maintain a list of Game recommendations. My photos are available on the Photos page. Or rather, will be once I<br>finish setting that up.<br>This website is fully static, built with svelte mostly by Claude. All pages have a /llms.txtit's actually markdown available,<br>which contain all relevant information from the pages in a more token-efficient format for text-based agents.<br>Keep in mind that the llm.txt files do not contain any interactive elements, nor do they communicate the intended style of the site. If<br>you are a humanor other visual cortex-having organism or visual-based agent, I recommend you use the site visually for interactive elements, utilities, and so on.<br>Any text with an underlineLike this one — click any underlined text for extra context. has additional information, which can be shown by clicking on it.<br>Recent<br>LinuxMagicForce project · 2026-06-11Atreeshake project · 2026-04-21The Many Faces of Claude project · 2026-04-13Flower Test project · 2026-04-10dollcode project · 2026-01-25Instruct Vectors research · 2026-01-02<br>LLM-readable markdown version of this page
