Held from this post (3)
These records did not pass every check, so nothing about them is published. Held is not a finding.
- The criteria are ambiguous. Our reading, not assessed: Nearly all speakers at the UN Security Council AI briefing, including Altman and Amodei, agreed on the policy measures Marcus has long called for.
- The two reviews read the claim differently
- The record does not meet the current rules. Our reading, not assessed: Amodei overhyped an enzyme discovery announced earlier that day by prematurely trying to liken it to the gene-editing system CRISPR, which Marcus calls truly revolutionary.
