Beff Jezos, founder of e/acc, quote-tweeted AI researcher Sue Chen Zang's remark that lab people 'just want to hang with their friends,' adding a sarcastic spin: it's a coincidence that those friends are also deemed the industry's best at 'frontier safety evals' and thus qualified to be the 'totally-not-biased third-party safety-eval spies' at every lab. The post insinuates conflicts of interest in third-party AI safety evaluations.
