  • For me it’s been very positive. But I generally like women better than men, so I fit in pretty well. I’ve always had more female than male friends, so I don’t feel awkward or out of place at all, and people have been very welcoming.

    Additionally, I’ve seen zero evidence of discrimination against me. In fact I feel I have unfortunately benefited to an extent from internalized misogyny. I feel like I get more respect and attention to my ideas than my female colleagues–even when we’re arguing for the same things.

    Now maybe some of that is my personality and competence but I’m not convinced all of it is.


  • It makes sense honestly. AI isn’t good at everything but what it is good at is absorbing and synthesizing tons and tons of information. That means, in theory, it could be quite good at synthesizing good policy ideas that address the problems of everyone, at least to the extent that’s possible.

    But of course the issue with that is it’s controlled by the same people who created and benefit from those problems, so naturally they wanted to shut that down as quickly as possible.
