Ben Recht @beenwrekt [Follow] Isn't putting METR & Redwood Research in charge of investigating the Hugging Face incident like putting Irregular in charge of cybersecurity testing? 3:49 PM · Aug 26, 2026 · 4,731 Views [2 replies, 4 reposts, 33 likes, 7 bookmarks] Relevant v View quotes > Nathan Helm-B... [verified] @nathan8468... · 13s This analogy doesn't make sense to me. Irregular is an oafishly incompetent cybersecurity eval outsource-contractor. METR & Redwood are the crazy cracked outside orgs who have been warning the world for years that AI companies are investing too little in internal cybersecurity.
