Schulman Applauds Embedded Third-Party Evaluators as 'Pacing the Frontier' Catches On

OpenAI co-founder John Schulman shared Dario Amodei's new essay "We Must Pace the Frontier," calling embedded evaluators a big positive development and crediting Sam/OpenAI for agreeing to do it as well. He notes it has been cool to see "pacing the frontier" become a thing so quickly. Amodei's essay lays out a three-part plan for slowing the industry down, with Anthropic unilaterally committing to the first step: permanent, employee-level access for third-party evaluators to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.
