Former OpenAI alignment researcher Micah Carroll publicly called out Meta Superintelligence Labs chief Alexandr Wang's alignment remarks as 'weak sauce.'
- Wang had said MSL is rapidly scaling alignment efforts and believes alignment may become the gating factor for scaling near the frontier.
- Carroll countered that only employee-like third-party auditing counts, contrasting with Dario's pledge to grant third-party evaluators employee-level access.
- The spat highlights the emerging battle over safety commitments: self-assessment vs independent audit.
