    Gary Marcus in the center? He is a strong AI skeptic, I think he should be lower, away from the "Civilizational change" direction.

      i agree, but if you view the sources his answers are grounded in, he seems to have updated to being more moderate in light of recent progress. still def on the lower side of the predicted impact spectrum, but it seems he's taking the impacts more seriously now

      that&#x27;s why it&#x27;s so important to show the sources used to derive these positions. like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;garymarcus.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;why-my-pdoom-has-risen-dramatically" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;garymarcus.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;why-my-pdoom-has-risen-dra...

      i really spent a lot of time looking through results and trying to course-correct and fix the model where i found obvious issues, but it&#x27;s definitely not perfect

      if you find any particularly egregious results, they&#x27;re likely due to not having good enough public sources for that user&#x27;s viewpoints. def let me know and i&#x27;ll try to improve them

      thanks
