Melanie Mitchell and Meg Mitchell are different people. Melanie was the participant in this debate, but you seem to be ascribing Meg’s opinions to her, including linking to video interviews with Meg in your comments.
Wait, whoops. Let me retrace identity here, sounds like a big mistake, sorry bout that Meg & Melanie when you see this post someday, heh.
edit: oops! the video I linked doesn’t contain a Mitchell at all! It’s Emily M. Bender and Timnit Gebru, both of whom I have a high opinion of for their commentary on near-term AI harms, and both of whom I am frustrated with for not recognizing how catastrophic those very harms could become if they were to keep on getting worse.
