This is an overly polite but good reply from

Nat Purser.

Non-reasoning.

We're flying blind.

We need stronger verification infrastructure." Pointing to some policy solutions that she argues could be natural outflows from this, Nat Purser wrote, "This is why I'm bullish on requiring independent auditors to be embedded within frontier labs with durable access rights and a continuous line of sight into their systems, so we're not reliant on labs' voluntary shared info and access." Nat also wants to significantly expand the staffing and technical capacity of independent evaluator and auditor orgs, as well as working to develop better observability and verification technologies to help us make sense of agentic behavior at enormous scale.

Now, none of those things on their own are some magic silver bullet, but they are all specific responses to something that we've actually observed now, rather than made-up plans for theoretical futures that might or might not bear any resemblance to the challenges that actually come, but ultimately serve more to make us feel like we're doing something than to actually solve problems.

The point of this whole episode is not that these challenges have easy solutions.
