These people are so fucking exhausting.

And then Dario wants to recommend METR as the "independent evaluator" while he stacks their org full of ex-Anthropic (aka, secretly still on the Anthropic payroll with huge equity) employees.

"We'll give them a desk, an office, a work laptop, ..."

Fucking make it less obvious. I kind of hope the govt steps in at this point and says "Anthropic, you wanted regulation? We've created this actually independent body full of IT professionals with zero ties to your safety industry or big tech, all of your work must now go through them." - and leave the rest of the world alone to continue their research/work without acting like doomer extremists.

Watch him 180 immediately if that happened. The only reason he's pushing for this exact approach is because he's stacked the deck.
