I think I agree with all of these points, with the tentative exception of the 2nd.
I think adding more ‘bad cop’ advocacy groups into the mix could help motivate (or enforce?) companies to actually act on their intentions. After all, the behaviour-intention gap is real… and it’s hard to know their true intentions.
Besides, it could also be that the advocacy groups start by targeting companies that are maybe less frontier but lagging behind on safety commitments or actions. This could help diffuse safety norms faster, and reduce race dynamics where leading labs feel the push to stay ahead of less safety-conscious orgs.
