This conversation with Timnit Gebru was so hugely insightful. It really helped me to understand the eschatological, ‘effective altruism’ side of the AI delusion as a form of eugenics.
Today on #VibeCheckPod, @timnitgebru.blacksky.app explains what’s really going on with these so-called AI whistleblowers. Also, I let the chopper spray on Robert Kraft, Ed Sheeran, Pink, Jasmine Crockett and Chris Brown.
Also, I read a lovely poem by Hieu Minh Nguyen.
