Check out our new COLM oral paper led by Meera, where we use convergent and discriminant validity to show how benchmarks purporting to measure similar and dissimilar concepts correlate with each other in unexpected ways!

As a US citizen and academic, I strongly believe that I have a duty to not self-censor in response to perceived political pressure. Paying the mafia and bowing to bullies is not how I choose to live my life, especially when the cost is "not receiving a grant," not "prison/torture/death."

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact
Collage titled "Trust is not Governance — an essay from inside Google DeepMind, written in personal capacity." 

A 2014 memorandum, "Conditions of the Acquisition," lists: military applications of DeepMind technology banned; deployment decisions before an independent ethics board (as reported in Mallaby's The Infinity Machine). 

Red threads lead to a 2026 U.S. Department of Defense agreement for classified networks reading "any lawful government purpose," with safety settings and filters adjusted at the government's request and no contractor veto (reported terms, The Information, Apr. 2026).
