Research Office, UC San Diego
You are standing in a small research office at UC San Diego. A workstation
hums in the corner; on the screen, a TextWorld run is happily wandering through
a kitchen looking for a knife. Notes about *monitorable reasoning* and
*behavior cues* are pinned to a corkboard. A small placard reads:
"Christopher Z. Cui — 3rd-year PhD, PEARLS Lab.
Advised by Dr. Prithviraj Ammanabrolu.
Interested in LLM agents and oversight-friendly reasoning."
Several exits are visible.
