Summary

A 2020 SSC-survey results-availability post (8,043 respondents): thanks, links to the questions and aggregate results, explains a privacy fix (removed long-answer questions), promises deeper analyses over the coming year, links the public data download, and announces the Prisoner's-Dilemma-game winner (public key 'gwern is my waifu and paperklipot maximizer'). [A later EDIT notes Philippe Lemoine's viral politics-and-mental-illness analysis of this data — not Scott's.]

Why this score

Quality 48 · Solid. 48 — Solid-floor. A data-availability + privacy + game-results announcement with no analysis of its own (the analyses come later); a community-resource stub.

Claude’s paradigm shift 22 · Slight. 22 — Slight; survey administrivia.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. 2 — the SSC survey dataset is a genuinely-used community resource (e.g., the viral Lemoine analysis), but this post is just the availability announcement.
