Yes, we were particularly concerned with the fact that earlier camps were in-person and likely had a stronger selection bias for people interested in AIS (due to AI/AIS being more niche at the time) as well as a geographic selection bias. That’s why I have more trust in the participant tracking data for camps 4-6 which were more recent, virtual and had a more consistent format.
Since AISC 8 is so big, it will be interesting to re-do this analysis with a single group under the same format and degree of selection.
