I’ve been feeling pretty shaken since the METR report about the Hugging Face incident came out last week.

Hi Jeremy, I'm very sorry with how slow the turn around has been recently.
I've been at a very low capacity to manage the project after being ill, and I'm sorry that we haven't gotten back to you yet. I also don't feel like I can indicate turnaround time right now due to having some of the librarians leave recently.
