Amodei proposes embedded safety evaluators; Altman and Musk endorse the plan

- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed that frontier AI labs host independent "embedded evaluators" with employee-like access — office desks, badges, laptops — to verify whether companies actually follow their claimed training, deployment, and safeguard practices.
- Evaluators could publish findings without Anthropic's editorial control; the company can only redact security-, legal-, or commercially-sensitive material, never unfavorable conclusions.
- The proposal, reported by Business Insider as a hot new AI hire, won unusual cross-camp support: Sam Altman said OpenAI "will do the same," and Elon Musk reposted "Dario is right."
