  Zico Kolter said this May in sworn testimony (in the Musk v Altman trial) that the SSC has twice delayed model releases.
  
  (See e.g. here or purchase the full transcript from the court, in which he later says there was “no pushback when the SSC has exercised its authority”.)

  To anyone reading this who wants to work on or discuss FHI-flavored work: Consider applying to Constellation’s programs (the deadline for some of them is today!), which include salaried positions for researchers.
