Cambridge's David Krueger: METR/Anthropic progress data won't move the needle beyond TPOT
DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-11-15
AI safety researcher David Krueger (Cambridge) argues that evidence from METR / Anthropic about the rate of AI progress won't have much real impact beyond TPOT (time to policy oversight), except indirectly by changing how people inside TPOT act.
His pointed caveat: those people should already have been treating the situation as an urgent crisis and calling for a pause — a skeptical take on whether capability-timeline research translates into policy action.
