anpaure · x · 2026-09-28
AI safety researcher Ryan Greenblatt announced he is joining METR to work on investigations like their Hugging Face report. He says recent events changed his earlier skepticism about the value of public information: much basic AI-development info highly relevant to catastrophic risk isn't public, and getting verified information about what's happening inside AI companies feels especially urgent now.
A notable personnel move for the safety ecosystem — the former Redwood Research researcher's shift toward independent investigations of AI labs carries real signal.
