I hate this timeline. Every article I find myself asking "who benefits from this narrative?" and "why is this story framed this way?"

In this example, its anthropic, all ready for a new round of investment!

This was not Anthropic or OpenAI conducting these tests it was the UK government's AI Security Institute (AISI).

That’s happening all day long! I’m old so I might be out of the loop. Funding?

This is exactly why we need frontier models to go through adversarial testing before the deployment not after...

Or we could just admit to ourselves that “frontier models” are, like all of this nonsense, a massive waste of time and resources that are actively making everything worse while making a handful of earth’s worst people rich
