@timnitGebru No other serious academic field today has a mainstream view that is bogus, pseudoscientific, or otherwise totally misguided, with serious scholars trying to subvert it from the margins, that much can be said about 'AI studies'

@wallamidyl @timnitGebru I agree that all mainstream science is hegemonic and tends to uphold colonial views until they are subverted, but pseudoscience of the kind peddled by mainstream AI studies is more than just a matter of upholding hegemony - it is simply and uncommonly unserious |
@_siddharthsoni i highly disagree with this. if you think most modern sciences are devoid of bs then explain how we have a reproducibility problem or why much of @timnitGebru's findings on race and AI exist in the first place.
institutional sciences have always existed to uphold the hegemony the institution is run by. until societies solve their historical use of science to marginalize/oppress their out groups, the sciences will always be flawed and inherently biased towards prejudice over fact.
