    imo a lack of good enough benchmarks is a bottleneck. At least for the type of RSI described as an intelligence explosion. @METR_Evals says it is publishing a report summarizing a risk assessment of whether AI itself is accelerating AI development, based on work with internal Anthropic information since August.
