Re: 10 I think the dual-use of capabilities is widely recognized by influential persons e.g. David Krueger, Dan Hendrycks, Nitarshan of UK AISI, etc. The overepresentation of evals in the global portfolio is mostly because it’s tractable, easy to report on, doesn’t require a degree in CS, low-resource (you don’t need your own inference hardware or access to model weights to do evals) and seems useful. CF mechinterp: also known to be dual use but still very tractable and easy to measure and report on
