OpenAI's independent evaluator plan is a panel, not a market — $500M fund proposed

A commenter criticizes the independent evaluator program (METR, Redwood and a few others) as a panel rather than an ecosystem. He argues for building a real market of orgs building, buying and selling vertical-specific evals on top of the training pipeline, notes some promoted evaluators' datasets fed into the RubyGems and Hugging Face incidents, and proposes a $500M fund to discover new independent evaluators as more effective than any framework document.
