Yes! This is exactly what I mean that offering the service of “apocalypse prevention” discursively justifies and legitimizes the ignorance of all current, emerging societal problems that AI systems generate, such as large language models (#LLM) amplifying #bias #disinformation and #hiddenlabour, to name a few.

Thank you @timnitGebru for the poignant article! We definitely need more #criticalAI approaches.

Effective Altruism Is Pushing a Dangerous Brand of ‘AI Safety’

This philosophy—supported by tech figures like Sam Bankman-Fried—fuels the AI research agenda, creating a harmful system in the name of saving humanity

WIRED

@isaacs I love this: “ The sooner you realize that ALL code is temporary trash destined for the garbage heap of history, the sooner you can start making rational decisions.”

Now we should take this idea and apply it to any kinds of #AI #algorithm #systems (and most other things too that your post says) - it very clearly shows that code is no god (and neither are people who wrote it). No code is :)
Cheers to #apocalypticAI 🥳
