I am begging AI researchers trying to study human impact to get very rapidly better at methodology so I don't constantly read halfway through these papers only to find some ridiculous experiment design that will throw the conclusions into the air.

I've been burned so many times; I've learned my lesson. You really need to read each of these things carefully if you want to understand what the researchers are concluding. Reading a news article—even worse, just the headline—is at best no information, at worst disinformation.

@mttaggart it is very difficult to go above the hype and blatant disinformation on the subject. Have you listened to this podcast?

The authors are great.
