METR, the AI safety org frequently promoted by Dario Amodei, raised $71M over the past six months — a sudden 5x jump. Blogger kevinnbass audited all public records and found only $350K of the $71M is traceable, questioning the funding transparency of the premier AI safety organization, with a GitHub thread of audit figures. Replies push for disclosure, with some quipping that maybe Anthropic's pace itself should slow.
