it's increasingly obvious that no one remembers the functionalist vs intentionalist debate about fascism
I think that's only a reasonable view if one has a quasi-mystical view of Nazi Germany as a thing that sprang into being fully genocidal, rather than the outcome of institutional and cultural processes building over time.

(To be clear, I’m speaking about the implications of the argument. Of course I don’t believe this, MIRI is drowning in radical intentionalist soup so who knows what they think they think they’re arguing.)

A "radical intentionalist," writes Eryk Salvaggio, treats an AI model as a 'mind' to be interpreted rather than a product that was designed. It is "a strange and dangerous relationship for designers to have with a product they are literally designing," he writes — and worse as a basis for policy.
To Make AI Rules, Policymakers Must Resist the Influence of ‘Radical Intentionalists’
In industry rhetoric, a radical intentionalist stance dominates any interpretation of model behavior, writes Eryk Salvaggio.

The way we talk about tech is increasingly dominated by a radical intentionalist position: one that insists we can *only* observe the system by reference to its internal “beliefs,” “thoughts,” and “wants.” That’s a trap — and it must not be enshrined into policy. www.techpolicy.press/to-make-ai-r...

this review of The AI Con from @jjoque is everything that i would want to say and everything that needs to be said to prevent "left/liberal" and "skeptic/intentionalist" from being conflated

The AI Con, by Emily Bender and Alex Hanna - The OLR Supplement
Justin Joque aims for a more radical critique of AI than Bender and Hanna, both by questioning intentionalist language, and with a leftist political orientation

There is no necessary reason to use tortured, textualist hermeneutic.
Normative and intentionalist and consequentialist interpretative methods get you very different answers.

Yeah this when I first learned about the functionalist vs intentionalist debate it shocked me the public perception of things just hasn’t caught up to it yet
tbf we dramatically overestimate how coherent classical right wing authoritarianism ideological aims were
The crucial point is that there is no plan or agenda. Trumpism is not a totalizing ideology with a mission, but rather a set of personal and group resentments and aspirations. There is nobody lobbying for territorial conquest, as there would be no U.S. beneficiaries. But it could happen by accident

but i do find those moves to be ad hoc redescriptions to save a thesis, and it's more plausible to just take the phenomenon at face value and give up the intentionalist thesis
