Not everyone working in AI safety fits into this brief, but there is this AI safety cohort that have sprung out with this because of this superintelligence belief. matched

And again, you see the fingerprints of these movements in them. matched

There's a AI safety research institute called Meter. matched

which is stands for model evaluation and threat research. matched

And that was founded by an ex OpenAI alignment researcher called Beth Barnes, who gave a TEDx talk ten years ago about EA. matched

So she's obviously part of that effective altruism community. matched

And meter were in the news around the time of the matched

hooking face attack because they produced some independent research on it. matched

And they had their official report on the hooking face attack, which one of their researchers, Ajaya Cotra, contributed to. matched

But she also expanded on it in her own blog. matched

And again, like this fuzziness happens a lot in the reporting where like yes, Meter produced a report, but what she wrote in this blog was separate to the official report. matched

But that got written in the context of the report and it's matched

Sounds more substantive than it than it really is as a claim. matched

Because what she said was this incident feels like it's more than fifty percent of the way to full blown AI takeover. matched

Feels like that's what that was her opinion though, man, because she didn't write that in the official report. matched

That's what I'm saying. matched

Because I don't think you could write that in an official report because you need some backing for a claim like that. matched

But she just threw it out in the blog, gets reported everywhere. matched

A Jaya Cotra is a contributor to both the less matched

Strong blog and the EA forum and has a history of working with organizations that ascribe to the EA movement's goals. matched
