> they asked: who on earth are Tasha McCauley and Helen Toner?

As a prominent researcher in AI safety (I discovered prompt injection) I should explain that Helen Toner is a big name in the AI safety community - she’s one of the top 20 most respected people in our community, like Rohin Shah.

The “who on earth” question is a good question about Tasha. But grouping Helen in with Tasha is just sexist. By analogy, Tasha is like Kimbal Musk, whereas Helen is like Tom Mueller.

Tasha seems unqualified but Helen is extremely qualified. Grouping them together is sexist and wrong.

Where, pray, is the sexism?

This seems to be an instance of “if you hear the dog whistle you’re the dog”

Why group the two women together?

Not that I think either are competent

You have three people, one of them is at least quite well known to the outside world, or at least his / her company is well known along with an ex Facebook CTO title.

You have two people left, we have no idea what he / she is, their work are not public outside of specific domain, and no Public / PR exposure to even anyone who follows tech closely.

Those two people we group them together. And they happened to be woman. ( At least we assumed their gender ). And we are now being called sexist? Seriously?
