Why do we still listen to METR??

These people are literally just a public relations operation for the big AI labs. I equate them more with a lobbying firm than I do a research firm.

What have they predicted? Ive read their papers, have you?

Please enlighten me. Most of them are cognitive scientists, who are mentally ill with little understanding of computers, larping as if they do. Its a chapter of the effective altruistic cult.
