Feel like there’s a decent chance they already changed their minds as a result of meeting him or engaging with their coworkers about the issue. EAs are good at conflict resolution.
Oh, I hope so! But I would like to get the perspective of people outside our bubble.
If EA has a bad image, we are not the right people to speculate why. And if we don’t know why, then we cannot fix it. Even if Paul Christiano can convince people that he is okay, it would be better if he didn’t have to do this the next time. Maybe next time he (or some other person associated with EA) won’t even get a chance to talk in person to people who oppose EA for some reason.
