Timnit Gebru was fired from Google in December 2020 for refusing to retract a research paper, and every single warning that paper made about large language models has now happened at a scale the industry spent 4 years trying to make people forget about.

@teledyn ugh I just went down a rabbithole because I'm avoiding doing what I'm supposed to do and apparently that text was originally posted by Guri Singh on X, but the account was suspended: https://x.com/heygurisingh/status/2059251382960734593
And the reason it was suspended... was undisclosed AI use on that post, according to this: https://piunikaweb.com/2026/05/28/x-suspend-accounts-ai-replies/
Which was based on Pangram considering it AI-generated. AI-detection is shoddy, but I can see why people suspected it. It's just a classic 2026 AI mess, really.

@teledyn Anyway, I really need to actually read Timnit et al.'s paper because it's obviously important and relevant and I love what DAIR is doing. It's just funny/horrifying how much of an entangled AI mess the Internet is becoming, where some AI critique is itself AI-generated for cheap clout (because it is justifiably popular) and detected (or not) by more AI-based tools. Blergh.

@stragu @teledyn This would be funny in the Bergsonian sense if it wasn't so terrible. Generators processing the output of other generators, and driving people's behavior, and driving them to communicate with generators.
