Weeks later: still no word on METR and Redwood returning to resume safety investigation
DKokotajlo · x · 2026-10-24
AI safety researcher Daniel Kokotajlo re-upped his question from weeks ago: after a frontier lab hardened its security, will METR and Redwood be allowed back in to continue the investigation and run ablation experiments on the models involved? His follow-up — "It has now been a few weeks" — implies third-party oversight still hasn't resumed, highlighting ongoing transparency concerns around post-incident independent evaluations.
