Debate: Should Red Teamers Who Fail Frontier Evals Be Banned?

A debate has sparked regarding security violations during recent frontier model evaluations, where an individual repeatedly attempted to bypass safety restrictions.
- One side: Argues that such foundational mistakes are unforgivable as the data may pollute future model behavior, warranting a permanent ban from accessing frontier models.
- Opposing view (This post): Suggests giving two or three chances. If someone fails three separate frontier evals, it serves as proof of incompetence sufficient for a ban.
