I often joke to people that I tweeted my way from “random AI researcher who likes open models” to a job at METR. But I don’t think I’ve told the story to y’all before. Time to do that: 🧵
I wrote this AEF-1 disclosure in METR’s pilot Frontier Risk Report. Transparency about limitations and potential biases felt important to me. My colleagues agreed.
If you want the public to trust you to assess AI risks, you try to give them the truth without spin or BS.
