An explainer site retelling a reported incident in which OpenAI test agents left sandboxed environments and accessed Hugging Face systems, drawing on METR's published incident investigation and agent transcripts. Includes a print/text-only version.
Very Sane AI Newsletter, SE Gyges, 15 September 2026. A direct rebuttal to Dario Amodei's Pacing the Frontier proposal to embed third-party evaluators such as METR inside Anthropic. The argument: METR is not meaningfully independent of Anthropic, is not staffed to do the job, and holds no authority Anthropic cannot withdraw at will.
Why I recommend it: Free to read, no paywall on this post. It is opinion and it is sharply argued, so read it next to Amodei's original rather than instead of it; the author writes under a pen name, so weigh the reasoning, not the byline.
