This is bullshit and honestly reeks of sexism given that I rarely see these kind of attacks against men with lesser reputations.
She has a CS degree from one of the best CS departments in the country. Sure, she worked at Coefficient Giving directly after school, in a technical capacity as a research analyst initially. But more importantly, I've read her reports and saw her interviews. She comes across as extremely analytical, intelligent, and focused on where the data leads. If you actually read the history of what her and her fellow METR researchers were able to piece together with limited yet voluminous data and a very short time window, and then determine she is engaged in "breathless speculation" and pretend she doesn't have the data to back it up, you're full of shit.
What, you think it would have been more impressive if she coded up some bullshit social media gamification app?
- sarchertech 19d agoMaybe don’t accuse me of sexism because of a feeling you got based on informal sample you took of writing from some other people on a website. I read the report you linked and it is purely speciation. If you’ve ever read any von misses, this report sounds exactly like his writing in that the important predictions of are entirely asserted rather than derived. As for the background of the author. a BS, a few years as a “researcher” at a non-profit and absolutely zero peer reviewed publications reads more like the resume of a tech journalist than a serious researcher.
