Gwern Branwen — Notable For: Early advocate of AI scaling hypothesis predicting AGI by 2030; maintains gwern.net as comprehensive research archive on AI, psychology, and statistics; influential in rationalist and LessWrong communities; over 90,000 Wikipedia edits

NoteThe source confirms three of the five main claims: (1) AI scaling advocacy is documented ('best known for my writings about AI scaling', 'The NN Scaling Hypothesis' listed as popular essay), (2) gwern.net is maintained as a comprehensive research archive on AI, psychology, and statistics (explicitly stated in opening), and (3) Wikipedia involvement is evident (dedicated Wikipedia section, 'In Defense Of Inclusionism' essay). However, the source does not explicitly state the AGI-by-2030 prediction claim, nor does it provide the specific Wikipedia edit count of 90,000+ as of 2026-03. The source is current (appears to be live website) but does not include the specific quantitative claim about Wikipedia edits. The claim about 'influential in rationalist and LessWrong communities' is also not directly addressed in this excerpt, though the site's content and style are consistent with such influence.
