Former OpenAI policy lead Miles Brundage weighs in on the METR report redaction controversy: he has no special insight into the redactions, but says some things METR stated suggest at least some over-redaction, with more possibly known when Ant shares their report.
He notes there are no established standards for what's appropriate here, and real tradeoffs exist. In the quoted tweet he argues a no-redaction norm is unrealistic and against history: public understanding of these matters has been updated mainly by incidents, narratives, and experience rather than technical data of interest to a few.
