“And yes, this included reports of people, but like I’ve met the first person interviewed in the article and she is hella scary and not someone I would trust to report accurately on this.”
Not that it matters but the person you are describing as “hella scary” and unreliable is a very decorated robotics researcher whose career has made incredible intellectual contributions in her field. I would like to counter and ask what makes you so keen to exclude her narrative?
EDIT: To anyone who is good faith skeptical of the above claim of deflection, let me point out how absurd it would be to counter any other claim (ie, “The sky is blue” or “Capitalism is the best form of economic organization ever”) with “well I can’t engage with the argument because this person is hella scary”

I really don’t know how to handle sharing takes like this in-public, especially from an anonymous source, but I do feel like “very decorated robotics researcher” does not feel super related to how much I would trust someone to accurately report things in an article here.
For the record, I know approximately nothing about the person in-question, I just felt like this argument felt weird and kind of like a non-sequitur.
(Edit: I guess you do say “not that it matters”, so I might just be misreading the tone here, so feel free to ignore this)

Adorable attempt at character assassination. See rhetorical technique here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victim_blaming

I’m vouching for this anonymous person’s judgment although I can’t personally verify their assessment of that person’s character.
