I like the emphasis on transparent risk reporting and publicly verifiable safety roadmaps [but am] concerned that moving away from binary thresholds might enable a "frog-boiling" effect, where danger slowly ramps up without a single moment that sets off alarms. [...] Methods to assess and mitigate risk are not keeping up with the pace of capabilities. This is more evidence that society is not prepared for the potential catastrophic risks posed by AI.
