ANT has a stronger safety culture, and so it is a more pleasant experience to work at ANT for the average safety researcher. This suggests that there might be a systematic bias towards ANT that pulls away from the “optimal allocation”.
I think this depends on whether you think AI safety at a lab is more of an O-ring process or a swiss-cheese process. Also, if you think it’s more of an O-ring process, you might be generally less excited about working at a scaling lab.
