Kyrannio called out AI labs' "safety doublespeak": if labs are suddenly serious about AI safety and about embedding independent evaluators, they should defund themselves — "walk the walk or stop the doublespeak and fear mongering."
In a follow-up reply he added that otherwise labs are setting their investors up for failure. The thread targets the contradiction between labs warning about risks while continuing to raise capital.
