In the Thune-Klobuchar bill debate, neilchilson addresses the 'embedded evaluators' argument: if embedding evaluators inside AI companies truly is the only practical way to mitigate a given risk, the bill's duty would require it — but the bill also leaves open other ways to achieve the same goal.

The point pushes back on critics' worry that the bill mandates specific compliance mechanisms, clarifying it instead imposes a duty of reasonable risk mitigation with multiple possible paths.
