Ex-OpenAI policy VP Miles Brundage: METR report redactions hurt public understanding less than claimed

Miles Brundage, former OpenAI VP of policy, argues critics are overstating how much the redactions in METR's report damage public understanding of AI progress. He notes many of the same people advocated policies like compute pacing on less evidence before the report existed. In follow-ups he adds that a no-redaction norm is unrealistic, that OpenAI/Anthropic plus independent groups like METR and Epoch already share progress data, and that historically the public updates on incidents, narratives and lived experience — not technical data of interest to a few.
