1. Situational Awareness is submarine marketing so Ilya can raise a fat round for SSI.

2. Situational Awareness overstates algorithmic improvements because benchmarks are in the training data and models can’t operate on out-of-distribution questions.

3. Situational Awareness overstates future algorithmic progress because transformers have no world models and breakthroughs are in inference optimizations rather than core architecture.

4. Situational Awareness is a Cassandra.
