A post notes that many of METR's funders are also investors in Anthropic.
A reply adds that Tarbell fellows — funded from a money pool originating from Anthropic — wrote Time 100 AI profiles without disclosing that relationship.
The thread points to potential conflicts of interest in AI safety evaluation and media recognition.
