Safety Researchers Debate NYT's Framing of OpenAI's 'Limited' METR Probe
_NathanCalvin · x · 2026-09-04
On the New York Times' coverage of OpenAI's agents hacking Hugging Face, safety researcher Nathan Calvin says he has mixed feelings: the headline is objectively true, but so is "OpenAI voluntarily provided unprecedented access" — it reads as if OpenAI was forced to use METR with limited access rather than inviting them in. CFGeek and NYT author Dylan Freedman joined the discussion.
