While many of these claims are "old news" to those communities, many of these claims are fresh. The baseline rate reasoning is flawed because a) sexual assault remains the most underreported crime, so there is likely instead an iceberg effect, and b) women who were harassed/assaulted have left the movement which changes your distribution, and c) women who would enter your movement otherwise now stay away due to whisper networks and bad vibes.
The minimization and denial among these comments is horrifying.
I am a female AI researcher. I come onto this forum for Neel Nanda's interpretability research which has recently been fire. I've experienced abuse in these communities which makes the reaction here all the more painful.
I don't want to come onto this forum anymore.
This is how women get driven out of AI.
