That’s fair! I am mostly thinking of the AI safety community and the parts of it interested in cybersecurity. I had a lot of discussions with people around the funding ecosystem/government AI safety-interested people/AI policy thinktanks around a year ago about the merits of attempting SL5 and never heard a mention of Anthropic’s RSP specifically, although it seems plausible it was a contributing factor for decisions to pursue that direction.
I was thinking here of talking to various people in EA leadership and various other people working in AI safety research (including some people at labs).
I did go to the AI security forum 2 years ago or so and the vibe I got was that people also made some bad strategic decisions at the time vaguely related to this, but people seemed better calibrated than the people who didn’t have any security interests.
