My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

A banner for the "Ideologies of Control: A Series on Tech Power and Democratic Crisis" series. The title "The Myth of AGI" is large, and followed by the Tech Policy Press and Data + Society logos. The quote from the article is below:

The next time you see someone talk about the promise or threat of AGI, you should ask: What social or political problems are they interested in papering over, and how are they implicated in creating them or making them worse?
