FWIW, I’m a female AI alignment researcher and I never experienced anything even remotely adjacent to sexual misconduct in this community. (To be fair, it might be because I’m not young and attractive; more likely the Bloomberg article is just extremely biased.)
That unfortunately implies nothing. Abusers will rarely abuse everyone they encounter, but pick vulnerable and isolated victims purposefully, and often also purposefully cultivate a public persona that covers their abuse. It is entirely possible and common to work with abusers daily and experience them as charming and lovely while they are absolutely awful to others. I believe you had a great time, but that does not make me believe the victims less in any way, and I would hope this is true for other readers, too.
