Why should we trust them?

Well all we have are vague accusations without evidence and a very specific denial also without evidence, so I guess just believe whatever you want.

  • The threats weren't denied, and they did offer an authorship to Buckmaster, which would be very strange if he had nothing to do with it.

    • The offer was for him to do for their proof what he had done to Anthropic's, he would clean up the proof and extract human-understandable concepts from it. If he did that work he would deserve author credit IMO.

Because like all state-sponsored thieves actions it is never what you know happened that matters, but rather whether you can prove it... Even then... ymmv =3
