I can’t seem to find the previous posts at the moment, but I have this sense that this is not an isolated issue and that ACE has some serious problems given that it draws continued criticism, not for its core mission, but for the way it carries that mission out. Although I can’t remember at the moment what that other criticism was, I recall thinking “wow, ACE needs to get it together” or something similar. Maybe it has learned from those things and gotten better, but I notice I’m developing a belief that ACE is failing at the “effective” part of effective altruism.
Does this match what others are thinking or am I off?
Previous criticism of ACE in venues like the Forum has primarily been about its research methodology (e.g. here and response here).
It’s been a while since I followed EAA research closely, but it’s my impression ACE has improved its research methodology substantially and removed/replaced a lot of the old content people were concerned about – at least as far as non-DEI issues are concerned.
