You can’t explain things you don’t understand so that’s likely your issue. You just decided that your inability to comprehend (because you are out of your depth here) translated to a “fallacy” in Dr. Gebru’s statements.

Sharing this with my Disability ERG. There's not enough spaces talking about all the negative impacts of AI, especially impacting disabled people and as a tool of the eugenecists.

8. often, when people say LLMs "can do" something they mean LLMs can produce output that looks like the output of doing something 9. producing something that looks like the output of doing something is not the same thing as doing it

Claude making a scientific discovery

Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

"There has never been a more money-losing technology than the large language model, and yet it is aimed mainly at creating business problems rather than solving them." Every meeting of our "AI group" is people unable to answer what problem we're trying to solve but 100% it needs to include genAI.

Eugenics is the tool of the oppressor. We do not need it. We will not use it. Hate to break it to you, but this means: Mentioning “the gene pool” The concept of IQ and BMI Standardized tests “Gifted” AND “special” education Rawdogging viruses “Social Darwinism” “Effective altruism”

I read this story and can’t help think of the breathless coverage media has given these delusional fantasies about superintelligent AI killing humanity in ten years, when companies are releasing tools coaching mass shooters and helping people kill themselves. People need to wake the fuck up.

AGAIN! You do not need to fear "superintelligent AI" "going rogue" & killing humans, when HUMANS keep putting regular, everyday shitty-assed, extremely error-prone "AI" into potentially life-&-death-crucial systems. It does not have to be "powerful" to do that! It can do that & still be very shitty!

How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.

100GB+ frontier models aren’t 50KB virus you could pass around by emails. As if there are tons of H100 sitting idle with inference stack ready everywhere.

How did this guy pass the job interview at Anthropic as a “researcher”?

Quote tweeting a tweet that says:
Rohan Paul
@rohanpaul_ai
Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned)

"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."

They're called "AI Datacenters" because calling them "Mass Surveillance Infrastructure" would give away the game.

This isn’t exclusive to AI, by the way, though it includes AI as presented in hundreds of tech journalism puff pieces and finger-wagging Chronicle sermons. My history classroom is not your “sandbox,” and your suggestion that it should be only tells me how unqualified you are for this conversation.

There is also an element of distrust that obviously is tied to life not improving in any way by technology , but the mass surveillance and systems of oppression tied to all newer tech with oligarchs not even hiding their intentions.
