alt Hacker NewsThey point out the time constraint issue explicitly in the article. But I don't understand how it's been addressed? Like we haven't gotten conclusive data any faster either way, so what's the point?
How can it be both so important that we need it so quickly, but at the same time have such a tolerance for such plausible deniability? It just doesn't really make sense that both those things are true at the same time.
It would've been great if METR was given more time to conduct their investigation. However, they are an independent organization, and OpenAI only agreed to give them on-premises access for 6 days.
Perhaps if the government decides to sue OpenAI, we could get a more thorough investigation.
