Seems like the Future of Life Institute has succeeded in legitimizing themselves the same way Angela Saini outlined race scientists legitimized themselves through the academy (read her book Superior).

The billionaires and eugenicists on this manel are the actual existential risks to humanity we should worry about.
Is that Nick "Blacks are more stupid than whites" Bostrom? Yea
Is that Sam Harris? Yea
Is that Max "I accidentally offered a grant to pro Nazi media outlet" Tegmark? (https://www.vice.com/en/article/future-of-life-institute-max-tegmark-elon-musk/) Yea but not in the photo, he's at the podium.
Is that Muskrat? Of courseIs that billionaire Jaan "I will fund OpenAI, Anthropic and any other white dude who talks about 'effective altruism' and saving humanity while getting themselves wealthy" Tallinn? Yea.
Is that Ray "Jeffery Epstein says he knows him well" Kurzweil? (https://www.truthdig.com/articles/jeffrey-epstein-the-transhumanist-pedophile-who-hoped-to-live-forever/) Yea. He has the mic and wants to warn all of us about the impending singularity explosion brought about by AI. We should help him save us.

@timnitGebru It's good that someone is finally connecting the dots here. Just a cursory scan of his email pulled up hits on most of the figures I expected to see.

@timnitGebru I always think of myself as a hardcore absolutist. Anyone who speaks in remotely flattering terms about AI, crypto, or tech-optimism in general earns an immediate sneer from me. But then I see how many people are, er, more flexible than I am, and I wonder if I'm unable to appreciate "nuance".
Thanks for the vindication

@dnkboston I feel like I can have "nuance" about "AI" but anyone talking about "nuance" w.r.t. race scientists and eugenicists is a different story.

@timnitGebru we were not making good life choices in 2013 and the only positive thing we can say about who we were back then is that past!Alex's exposure to fashtech inoculated present!Alex against today's proliferation of slop

Everyone wants to sign their letters that they put out every few years.
Take a look at this manel which happened around their first letter
and ask yourself if you wanna be around these people.@timnitGebru no. I do not.
