Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteThe source confirms Gwern's work on AI scaling and maintenance of gwern.net as a research archive covering AI, psychology, and statistics. However, the source text does not address three key claims: (1) the specific prediction of AGI by 2030 is not mentioned in the provided excerpt; (2) influence in rationalist and LessWrong communities is not discussed in this source material; (3) the Wikipedia edit count (90,000+ as of 2026-03) is not mentioned. The source is Gwern's own website homepage/navigation, which focuses on listing essay topics rather than biographical claims. The 'about-me' page is referenced but not included in the excerpt. Without evidence of these three specific claims in the provided source text, the verdict is 'partial' — some claims are confirmed, others are unverifiable from this source.
