remember that this hearing is almost entirely a report to the public to communicate the political disagreement process’s existing state; almost nothing new happened, and everyone was effectively playing a game of chess about what ads to invite different people to make.
it’s odd that Marcus was the only serious safety person on the stand. he’s been trying somewhat, but he, like the others, has perverse capability incentives. he also is known for complaining incoherently about deep learning at every opportunity and making bad predictions even about things he is sort of right about. he disagreed with potential allies on nuances that weren’t the key point. he said solid things on object level opinions, and if he got taken seriously by anyone it’s promising, but given Altman’s intense political savvy it doesn’t seem like Marcus really gave much of a contrast at all.
