Imagine if we relied on oil companies to publish evidence that CO2 emissions cause climate change. This statement against interest by Anthropic illustrates the epistemic vulnerability in which funding agencies and universities have uncritically accepted vibes-based claims. Universities should be at least as critical as Anthropic, and should have been leading independent studies with scope similar to this one and the METR study (a group aligned with boosters, also publishing against interest).
