I don’t disagree, it’s more that this feels a bit like privileging the hypothesis? I think the modal reason I’ve heard from people who did capabilities work and now regret it is something like “I knew I was misaligned with leadership but I thought leaving would be even worse.”
If, for some reason, Anthropic asked me how to prevent people from regretting working for them, I would focus much more on “have a thing for people to do once they realize their colleague is corrupt” instead of “have a more nuanced way of telling if their colleague is corrupt.”
