METR's first deep assessment of AI accelerating AI R&D interviewed 15 staff — but skipped a key question

But the critic notes every published question and finding focuses on what the AI did; none address whether anyone still understands what the agents produce — a crucial dimension for judging the quality and risk of AI-accelerated research.
