On Monday, the White House proudly announced it met the June 2nd deadline to cook up a voluntary AI evaluation framework—but ironically refused to share what’s inside, who’s seen it, or when anyone actually has to follow it. Top AI brain banks like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google gave feedback on a draft only imperial spies know. The framework covers everything from cybersecurity and IP protection to insider risk, to be reviewed quietly behind closed doors with 'trusted partners'—because nothing screams transparency like 30 days of hush-hush model inspections. The classified benchmarking bar and exact model coverage? Also secret, gifted only to select AI nerds, leaving everyone else clutching their data sheets and wondering who's in the cool club. Next Tuesday, there’ll be a staff-level 'secret handshake' meeting… meanwhile, the public waits to figure out whether to freak out or just keep refreshing ChatGPT.
