Why is Masley "problematic" and what's he been wrong about?

He won’t toe the official line. You will always get a vague claim of being “problematic” if you don’t challenge the status quo.

He's done just terrible things, the accusations are true. No one wants to associate with him because of all the bad things he's done. Everyone knows he's a liar, and anyone asking for evidence of it is a perfidious pro-AI ideologue.

He’s a Pro-AI ideologue who engages in the same motivated reasoning he complains about others using. His piece on heat island effects fell over under scrutiny because he just doesn’t have the analytical background to actually do these investigations.

    Do you have a link for this? I'm interested in learning more about why Masley is wrong on heat islands.

  • What? I follow him on Twitter, and he's pretty open worried about AI existental risk. He just wants accurate reporting about the situation.
