AI researcher Merve Noyan weighs in on the lab-safety debate: she doesn't dismiss how hard safety is and agrees it must be figured out at all labs, but sees two labs as most competent at it.
Her core question: if independent evaluators can't see a lab's mistakes, how can they possibly notice them? She also argues that added processes likely cause less slowdown than labs claim.
