There’s one piece of good news here: That there seems to be an effort to install infra-structure for monitoring and evaluation and building good habits. That itself seems to me definitely a move in the right direction, although if it is used for safety-washing could easily turn out to be very negative. On the other hand, it might create new leverage for the safety community by incentivizing labs to make their safety strategy concrete and thereby amenable to critique.
Beyond that, I feel like there’s not much new information yet. It all depends on the details of the implementation. Both a total stop and an accelerationist attitude could in principle be pursued under this framework as far as I understand.
