Remember the 22 word statement about #AI and human extinction & such? Its originator, the founder of, wait for it, the center for AI "Safety" says

"Natural selection disfavors individuals who stop caring about acquiring more resources and expanding their influence. The individuals who always want more are selected for."

Yea what we need to do is "build bridges" and "talk it out" with these people 🙄 next day after the "statements" he joins Elmo's grift, XAI or whatever bullshit its called.

@timnitGebru I scanned his dissertation couldn't get into all of it b/c I'm not a CS. It did give me the vibe that he took a bunch of ML reliability work he'd done and decided to wrap a few pages of discussion of ethics around it to give it a theme.
Maybe I don't get how CS PhD programs work, but l would think he would have at least defined machine learning and not just started using the initialism AI in the middle of the paper with no introduction. https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2022/EECS-2022-133.pdf
