Cambridge professor David Krueger slams Dean's apology: 'You don't get to just say my bad for deceiving you'

AI safety researcher and Cambridge professor David Krueger pushed back sharply on @TheZvi's view that voluntarily coming clean and apologizing should generally be met with leniency. Krueger wrote that Dean "basically just admitted he is not a good faith actor, but is making a bid to continue being treated as one," adding: "This is serious shit. People's lives are on the line. You don't get to just say 'my bad for deceiving you.'"
The exchange is the latest flashpoint in the AI safety community's ongoing drama over deception and whether implicated figures should retain trust.
