Nice touch that Barack is on your LW page ;)

Thanks a lot for this post. I especially enjoyed the football example. I'd be interested in seeing more elaboration on the last section in the future.

There is a bug in the visualization where if you have a dataset selected in one persona, then switch to a different persona, the new results don't show up until you edit the label confidence or select a dataset in the new persona. For example, selecting dataset "desire to influence world" in persona "Desire for Power, Influence, Optionality, and Resources" then switching to "Politically Liberal" results in no points appearing by default.

I'm preparing for SERI MATS and I found this immensely helpful. Thanks a lot!
