When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who actually told you so.

And then it will be rinse and repeat, onto the next grift.

@timnitGebru You know, I get your point. It's as valid as it's painful.

But please don't phrase as ALL men vs. ALL women. There *are* men that called BS just like there *are* women that fueled the hype.

@ftranschel Where did she write what you tell her not to write?

@ftranschel with respect, please don’t not-all-men @timnitGebru, of all people.

To a first approximation she is absolutely correct.

@ftranschel @timnitGebru Idk man, I felt zero pain reading this nor did I think that I was personally included in the statement so maybe this is just a you thing? Take a lap. Get back to us

@ftranschel I get a little defensive about phrasing. But I don't think there's any remote implication here that "all men", even "many men" are the problem. This reads to me very much as "certain men"

There isn't a claim that there aren't women taking the same problematic stances. This is about who will be awarded the spotlight, even though they contributed to the hype. And it will probably be men. Just because that's who historically are given the most voice.
