@timnitGebru Holy shit, I had no idea about Bostrom and his influence on people in AI. Thank you for digging up this dirt! Really sad to see Bengio spout Bostrom bullshit. No wonder they don't give a shit about AI bias.

@timnitGebru I just read his appology. Wow, what a tone deaf work of art. It should be studied for years as an act of idiotic responses. This man is smart? How?

@timnitGebru For those not aware of what #TESCREAL stood for (I didn't), this is a good thread about it

It stands for "transhumanism, extropianism, singularitarianism, cosmism, rationalism, effective altruism, and longtermism".

Super handy way to sum up the Silicon Valley tech elite! Thanks Torres and Gebru!

@mempko @timnitGebru "Longtermism" is a little ironic when one considers that many of them apparently have no problem polluting the atmosphere with their private jets and cars, thus fueling the climate change.
