AI community clashes over EA groups' role in frontier model evals
basedjensen · x · 2026-09-13
A new spat in AI safety circles: user basedjensen accuses effective altruism-aligned groups of acting in bad faith and running "false flags," arguing EA should be kept away from frontier models entirely.
The thread stems from a debate between @JDRanpariya and ML researcher Sentdex over whether EA-affiliated teams running capability and bias evals is a problem — and whether non-EA evaluators should also be involved. It highlights growing distrust over who gets to control frontier model evaluations.
