I'm finally on Blue Sky. https://t.co/60q64OZev8.

Seems like more and more people are there rather than here. And with Elmo's impending power explosion, who knows what's gonna happen here. LMK what your profile is there so I can follow you there.

These consulting companies made headlines saying it was revolutionary when we were warning about circular investments & unfounded claims & they’re now making headlines saying the opposite, make money from seeding the hype & make 💰 from sounding like you didn’t do that all along.

Almost every day I'm seeing a new article about the TESCREAL ideologies. @timnitGebru and I were right three years ago, though not many people listened to us: there is a movement in Silicon Valley that wants to replace humanity and conquer the universe.

The Google ai push is proof that billionaires truly are cartoonishly greedy, they had a beloved product that worked properly and was printing billions of dollars for them and intentionally broke it in the hopes that breaking it could make them a few extra bucks right now

ChatGPT has launched a new health and wellness feature called ChatGPT Health that allows users to upload their medical records. Do not do this. Do not upload your medical records to an AI chatbot.

@yusuf_cape Yea I have written a ton about this for over a decade so I won’t get into it here since you’re hypnotized by them.

Remember folks, they're all about "ethics" and "safety" this money is just the cost of bringing us utopia through beneficial "artificial general intelligence" and preventing the bad guys from creating the machine devil that will kill us all.

@yusuf_cape LOl "better the EAs do it first" are you repeating their propaganda to explain their ideology or are you saying you actually believe this, which makes me understand why they're so good at propaganda and perhaps deserve their $1T valuation for being such good scammers.

[@timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) @timnitGebru]

Loll, we have very different definitions of "outwardly generous." What's "outwardly generous" to you is the self serving eugenicist ideology of effective altruism that some of us have been writing and warning about for years before their PELTIV scores and their scammers like SBF and their castles were even made public.

@mario_gug Brave against who? It’s a powerful multi billion dollar institution with Silicon Valley partnerships and investments in major tech companies. Who do they have to be “brave” to or against?

The Vatican could have told Anthropic to stop stealing data, exploiting labor, killing the environment, deceiving us with anthropomorphic designs & lying about product "capabilities." Instead they partnered with them, like partnering with Sackler family to discuss harms of oxy.

@jmbollenbacher Lol sure that's why they have a venture capital arm that invests in Silicon Valley and why they've cultivated this Anthropic relationship over many years. Sure, you do you ✌️🏼

[@timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) @timnitGebru]

Ok I'm getting the equivalent of "but have you read the document about oxy co-authored with the Sackler family"?

Why do you think that he endorses them?

Did you read the document?

I'm not gonna be responding to these comments✌️🏼

"Anthropic’s Roman moment is a masterclass in soft-power repositioning. By embedding itself in the Vatican’s moral architecture at the precise moment it is under fire from Washington, the company is doing several things simultaneously:"
