Awful.systems is not debate club. Nor is it peer-review club. No one is obligated to nitpick individual sentences in a preprint or erect monuments of text about details within it, particularly when a discussion of the broader failings of the "research" culture in that area is more interesting, valuable and on-brand.

"How AI Impacts Skill Formation" has two authors. So even on the bare factual matters you are wrong. The disempowerment paper has four authors, but all of them look like they are computer scientists from looking at their bios, so the general thrust of fiat_lux's comment is also true about that paper.

I don't mind academics reaching outside their fields of expertise, but they really should get collaborators with the appropriate background, and the fact that anthropic hasn't hired any humanities researchers to help support this sort of research is a bad sign.
