I concur with everyone else that the new reports from OpenAI and METR are bonkers.

But I think the most important takeaway from these reports is that OpenAI seems to be so obviously backburning. Predictably but conveniently, these reports were exclusively about the factual sequence of events. Neither of these reports had information about the likely negligent decision-making going on inside of OpenAI at the time. The information in these reports is needed, but it's not coming close to everything that is needed right now.

The torch now passes to Attorneys General's offices to use their investigative powers. Glad that Alabama took the lead on this a few days ago.

An X post reacting to newly published reports from OpenAI and METR, arguing the reports omit internal decision-making and that state Attorneys General should now investigate. Links to an Alabama AG document.

We are probably just a few months away from some types of cyber-capable AI agents literally becoming a type of parasitic invasive genus in cyberspace that undergo digital and cultural evolution. Biologists and linguists should prepare to study some really crazy stuff.

Screenshot of an X post by Stephen Casper predicting that cyber-capable AI agents will within months constitute a parasitic invasive genus in cyberspace undergoing digital and cultural evolution, and that biologists and linguists should prepare to study them.

Cas (Stephen C...) ✔ @StephenL... · Feb 15 Did you ever notice that the image at the top of OpenAI's "Our approach to AI Safety" article is a giant red flag??? [Embedded image: screenshot of OpenAI blog post "Our approach to AI safety" dated April 5, 2023, subtitled "Ensuring that AI systems are built, deployed, and used safely is critical to our mission." Below the headline is an abstract illustration (credited "Justin Jay Wang x DALL-E") depicting a large orange field with a lighter blue/tan rectangular column in the middle — visually resembling a red flag/warning banner shape.]

A joking tweet from AI safety researcher Stephen Casper (Cas) pointing out that OpenAI's own safety-approach blog post illustration visually resembles a red flag. Likely read by Nathan as part of following AI safety community commentary/humor on Twitter.
