METR's OpenAI probe got just 3 days of access — defenders say supplicant status, not incompetence
NathanpmYoung · x · 2026-09-18
Responding to Stoller's claim that METR's investigation of OpenAI was hollow, NathanpmYoung and others argue METR 'agreed' to only 3 days of access and was barred from info outside the two-week window not out of incompetence or ideological blindness, but because OpenAI — a supplicant with no legal obligation to cooperate — didn't want to admit errors or reveal negligence. As one reply put it, Stoller seemingly would have preferred no investigation to a limited one that was clear about its limits.
