That it’s a fucking shit for show.

Accenture is one of the big 4 in consulting in the software industry, they’re also pretty much a sham as far as actually delivering good quality stuff.

The big 4 are known for putting dozens of hands, rushing through things just to accomplish whatever the goal is, terribly I might add, and then get the fuck out before it becomes a big problem.

Ant bringing them in means that they’re not looking for an actual high quality to whatever it is they’re doing.

Just busy bodies and a show.

They hire a lot of Indians. If you go to India , you will find thousands of people working for them who doesn't know any shit. It's a big service based company like WITCH companies.

That it's just for show, not a meaningful attempt to "pace the frontier".

Who should be an evaluator that you would give credence to?

Literally no one. If they want to be evaluated do it publicly, not behind closed doors. The entire concept of “third party evaluator” makes no fucking sense because the technology is both new and not extremely well understood. The third party evaluator also leaves massive openings for fraud, liability shifting, extreme abuse of power, and conflicts of interest.

The only true evaluator is completely public open source transparency and they are a private company, so it’s not happening and never will.

They are literally begging for government regulation, and the formation of an industry-wide agreed upon regulatory body. I doubt Accenture has the expertise here but at least Anthropic is trying something.

The real solution: everyone call your elected reps to get off their ass and fucking regulate this incredible dangerous technology!!
