Reviewers ended up on the list via different routes. A few we solicited specifically because we expected them to have relatively well-developed views that disagree with the report in one direction or another (e.g., more pessimistic, or more optimistic), and we wanted to understand the best objections in this respect. A few came from trying to get information about how generally thoughtful folks with different backgrounds react to the report. A few came from sending a note to GPI saying we were open to GPI folks providing reviews. And a few came via other miscellaneous routes. I’d definitely be interested to see more reviews from mainstream ML researchers, but understanding how ML researchers in particular react to the report wasn’t our priority here.
