I know the sequence is about criticisms of labs but I personally think I would get more value if the post focused mainly on describing what the lab is doing with less about evaluating the organization because I think that the reader can form their own opinion themselves given an informative description. To use more technical language, I would be more interested in a descriptive post than a normative one.
My high-level opinion is that the post is somewhat more negative than I would like. My general sentiment on Conjecture is that it’s one of the few AI safety labs that has been established outside of the bay area and the US.
As a result, Conjecture seems to have significantly boosted London as an AI safety hub which is extremely valuable because London is much more accessible for Europeans interested in AI safety than the bay area.
Thanks for writing the post.
