On this day in 1953, the US and Britain lead a coup that overthrew Iran's democratically-elected government. The deadly coup aimed to subjugate Iran, maintain control of its oil & install a puppet of US imperial policies in the region. Today, as the US continues to attack Iran - we demand peace.

No degree of expertise on colonialism & colonial extraction will convince white folks/countries that they're huge beneficiaries of that plunder & of the systems they put in place & 'continue' to benefit from it.

Read the letter:
“Dear President von der Leyen,
We, experts in artificial intelligence (Al) and its societal impacts, are deeply concerned about your unscientific and inaccurate statement that Al is nearing human reasoning. You claimed in your budget speech in May "we thought Al would only approach human reasoning around
2050. Now we expect this to happen already next year."
We understand from Commission disclosure, which followed a lengthy process to obtain this information, that you relied on the statements of Dario Amodei, Jensen Huang and Sam Altman as the basis for your statement about Al nearing human reasoning. These are marketing statements driven by profit-motive and ideology rather than empirical evidence and formal proof. In short, these tech CEOs claims concerning "superintelligence" and "AGI" are manifestly bound with their financial imperatives and not rigorous science.
For the President of the European Commission to repeat the misleading marketing language of US technology firms without independent scientific verification undermines Europe's credibility as a reliable and trusted source of scientific knowledge. This is particularly so amidst a significant speculative bubble to which baseless Al hype is contributing.
It also undermines the ability of Commission staff to evaluate the claims of Al vendors at a time when the Commission regulates them and procures Al services.
The Commission has the duty to diligently assess claims made by industry and to determine with impartial and scholarly analysis where best the objectives of the Union should be pursued. The scientific development of any potentially useful Al is not served by amplifying the unscientific marketing claims of US tech firms.
We call on you to:
1. retract your statement on Al approaching human reasoning next year;
2. diligently evaluate other such marketing claims about Al products; and
3. ensure you have the benefit of the necessary impartial scientific advice in future.”
