On Independence of OpenAI Investigation Citing METR Findings
tomekkorbak · x · 2026-08-27
Tomáš Korbak debates the definition of "independence" with Geoffrey Irving. He argues that a report written by another organization (like METR) with different incentives remains independent in a non-trivial sense, even if its findings inform OpenAI's report. He also corrects a previous point, stating it is misleading for OpenAI to call the METR/Redwood investigation "independent" given that OpenAI's own report was informed by theirs.
