Gregory's ServerI think that most AI hustlers really do believe their own bullshit. They believe that the ills of the world consist of many small rational, solvable problems, and the task at hand is using intellect and engineering ingenuity to solve them. The role of politics in this process is to accept their solutions and make the needed changes.
If only AI hustlers could get the lived experiences of e.g. climate scientists who have tried presenting intellect and facts for decades now.
@ttiurani @timnitGebru tbh I find that hard to believe when it comes to climate change. The distribution curve of which percentage of the population causes the most polution is well-publicized. These people have to strip human agency from tech‘s consequence to not be held accountable - and they‘re smart and intentional enough to understand this too.
Maybe the second- and third-order followers have uncritically swallowed the front.
