In a discussion about an AI safety incident, researcher Niloofar Mire responded to Daniel Kokotajlo's call for third-party research, emphasizing the importance of partnering with university safety researchers. However, academics cannot reproduce incidents due to IP constraints; they can only share traces or metadata. She suggests companies release lists of independent problems for study, citing Hugging Face's struggle with limited resources when defending against frontier models.
