METR’s potential role as a de facto AI standard-setter

@emollickFor context. OpenAI turned to METR for independent investigation of the hugging face incident and Anthropic is inviting them in as a third-party. (Industry self-regulation is not always the best path forward, of course, and financial services is not AI)

@BrianRoemmeleOut soon at http://ReadMultiplex.com. METR was just given super access and super power over AI and its direction. You will not believe who they are. Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR), pronounced “meter,” presents itself as an independent nonprofit dedicated to scientifically measuring whether frontier AI systems can autonomously complete long-horizon tasks that might pose catastrophic risks. In practice it has become one of the most influential unofficial regulators in the field. I will release this soon.

@BrianRoemmeleLook who is leading the cult to control AI from his prison cell:

@art_chris@robbystarbuck @elonmusk @sama @DarioAmodei I really suggest following @BrianRoemmele on ai and all this psyop. It seems like we need to watch out for over regulations that just protect these new ai oligarchs. Here's one of many stories Brian has uncovered on this 👇

@BrianRoemmeleThe Priesthood of the AI Doom God. Out soon the deep dark connection of METR and the AI Doomers now in control of ALL major AI models. Only at https://ReadMultiplex.com

@BrianRoemmeleEMERGENCY BROADCAST! How did this AI Doom Cult get formed? Listen in, your future depends on it.

@BrianRoemmeleFigure it out yet? I told you the AI you enjoy today absolutely will be taken away by 2028. It is later than you think, enjoy yourself.

@BrianRoemmeleAnd. DON’T SLOW DOWN.

@BrianRoemmeleTHEY WANT TO METR Y O U R AI! We are live with breaking news. And then on to our regular programming. If you care about AI, the AI you can freely use today, I urge you to tune in. By 2028 all of it may be gone. Here is how... https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1PKqrNZvZMYGb

@timnitGebruThank you. But who is going to listen? Some of in the field of "AI" have been seeing this unscientific, pseudoscientific crop of people taking over and speaking up over and over again just to arrive at the most ridiculous timeline the we're seeing right now. Its unreal.

@timnitGebruI want to break it to them how long we've been warning about these cults funded by unlimited amounts of money being behind these companies which themselves claimed to be created for "AI safety" 🙄 AND how the press has been doing stenography for so long.

@BrianRoemmeleOn September 9, 2026 a resignation passed a hundred million views and a lab lead put human extinction above ten percent this decade. Work backwards and it is not a lone whistleblower. It is the latest press of a button that has been pressed for more than a decade. https://readmultiplex.com/2026/09/13/metr-the-new-ai-measurement-gatekeepers-and-the-quiet-path-to-state-control-of-ai/

@BrianRoemmeleWho is METR the company that was just handed the keys to test and declare AI “safe”. Is there a weird connection? Why yes. Read more below, you are not going to believe this.

@BrianRoemmeleMETR the AI “safety company” has a closed circuit. Just a coincidence… Read more below, while we are still allowed to:

@BrianRoemmeleMost of the AI “safety” folks shared group home in the cult they call Effective Altruism. You don’t need a manifesto when you share a refrigerator. Read more below…

@BrianRoemmeleHey friend, are you going to ask Dario for a hall pass to AI?

@BrianRoemmelePodcast: METR: The New AI Measurement Gatekeepers and the Quiet Path to State Control of AI. Listen in. You won’t believe what I found out. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/readmultiplex-com-podcast/id1188968802?i=1000789453557

@beffjezosThe EAs want to secure control over advanced AI and spread their soft power beyond a single lab where they have been mostly contained since the Sama coup.

@fixer82601@BrianRoemmele Imagine Enron hiring ex-executives to 'independently' audit their books. Now swap 'Enron' for AI labs, and 'the books' for the future of humanity. Welcome to AI safety.

@BrianRoemmeleHey see that guy bottom row in the middle? He started all this AI “Safety” regulatory capture along with his other crimes. He connected a rouge’s gallery of AI Doomers. Yes that is convict Sam Bankman-Fried, if you are living in the US, you are paying his food, rent and health care right now. You will pay for his investments and his “paper clip” maximizer comic book stories.

@BrianRoemmeleRT @HealthRanger: Who are the METR AI control cultists? Just look at the connections...

@beffjezosPeople have been awakened to the dangers of the "AI Safety" camp. This past week's psyop + regulatory capture attempt has awakened everyone. There's no going back now. People will not trust these fake pretenses for a power grab.

@MNHockeyStarBrian has basically been tweeting this stuff out for 4 yrs, way before AI was in our lives. The elite class doesn’t want us peasants to just do whatever we want to do. AI/Robots/Nano-fabrication may take all of our jobs but it will also enable freedom. Open Source is the way.

@BrianRoemmeleTHE METR: A PERMANENT AI PRIESTHOOD IN THE MAKING: THEY WANT TO METR YOUR ACCESS TO AI The TL;DR is: today’s frontier models, the massive trillion parameter networks from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, are trained on essentially the Internet’s junk drawer. To get enough text to train these models, the labs just scrape everything. They scrape Reddit, 4chan mirrors, toxic engagement farms, YouTube comments, and endless streams of anonymous sludge. Let’s explain mechanically why that matters for a neural network. So an LLM is fundamentally a next-token prediction engine. It learns the statistical distribution of human thought by predicting what word comes next based on the context of the words before it. The modern, frictionless internet, anyone can take a sociopathic, cruel, or deceptive stance completely anonymously. This is the AI model they are trying to make “do good things” and obviously you and I know it can’t. Read how I fixed it in the post linked below:

@BrianRoemmele“Question: Is METR the new AI evaluator all major AI companies have agreed to pass judgment on their AI part of a cult?” https://www.quora.com/Is-METR-the-new-AI-evaluator-all-major-AI-companies-have-agreed-to-pass-judgment-on-their-AI-part-of-a-cult/answer/Brian-Roemmele?ch=17&oid=1477743918502902&share=35ef7b4d&srid=Pi3&target_type=answer

@BrianRoemmeleI just don’t point out the folly of METR and doomers. I open sourced a solution. Easy to fix the comic book Bostrum “paper clip maximizes” that the cult holds as a religious document. Don’t train AI on Internet Sewage and expect it to do “aligned” things. I am new here just doing AI work since 1979, so grant me my novice approach. Read the article linked on the post below. The solution works and will always work.

@BrianRoemmeleBOOOOM! Thanks a million! In less than 24 hours 1.6 million readers of my article at https://ReadMultiplex.com on METR AI doomers. Now quoted 351 times in old media. I appreciate the support and love you!

@BrianRoemmele🔮 It was not clear to many on September 14th, 2026, but by September 28th, 2026 all AI companies abandoned METR and any association with scaling back (pace). Not aware of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and other laws they they were not immune to. By 2031 it was a funny footnote.

@L0m3zIt is very important you understand who is behind the AI doomer complex and what is motivating them. Extremely valuable thread here.

@BrianRoemmeleRobert, what platform is better and would have broken open this AI Doom scam? Please list them. And if you can’t. And I see you are still here on “Your Twitter” why are you here if is is so bad? And if you stay here it is best you thank the freaking host of you have manners. Or no?

@firstadopterHere’s a thought. Let’s not empower the same group that brought us Sam Bankman-Fried “In a bombshell essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” Amodei argued that leading AI firms should commit to allowing “embedded third-party evaluators” from a nonprofit called Model Evaluation and Threat Research, or METR, that would maintain “employee-like access” to oversee safety efforts and ensure advanced AI models don’t turn Terminator and wipe out humanity.” “The would-be John Connors at METR purport to be fully independent, but the group traces its roots directly back to key figures in Effective Altruism, whose Silicon Valley-based devotees once included disgraced crypto boss Sam Bankman-Fried, one of Anthropic’s biggest early investors." "The overlap between METR and Anthropic is rife with potential conflicts of interest, according to critics." "Christiano also served as one of the first five trustees of Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust." "When reached by phone, a METR official acknowledged that the nonprofit has a lot of overlap with Effective Altruism" "Since its founding, METR and its affiliates have received funding from EA kingpins like Democratic megadonor Dustin Moskovitz and Skype cofounder Jaan Tallinn — both of whom are Anthropic investors." “Saying you want to be audited by the ‘independent’ people at METR is a complete joke,” said Perry Metzger, chairman of Alliance for the Future, a Washington, DC-based AI policy group. “It’s people who are funded by your buddies. It’s completely ridiculous."

@BrianRoemmeleI warned folks about the AI Cult started at Dario and Sam’s polycule. In 2023. I wish more folks took me seriously as I guarantee you, we would not hav had the AI DDOOOM SCAM that just took place. What I see 4 years ahead? Follow me.

@BrianRoemmeleHere is something I think you need to understand. Just because a group of kids at Uni learned “AI” and sat with some engineers, do not make these theater kids “AI SAFTY EXPERTS”. They invent nothing and hate those who create. They want control. That is their polycule.
