📢📢📢My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders at https://t.co/vH5svG637N

I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣

And you see how the effective altruists were pearl clutching and such when I called out their front vs who they are. Not that anyone not in their cult or adjacent to them fell for it.

I hope everyone understands that the reason why Dario Amodei thinks he can eliminate mental illness in 10 years isn't because he's going to develop a drug that requires long-term follow up. It's by embryo screening. He wrote about it in Machines of Loving Grace in October 2024.

@firesidealpha Wow sounds exactly like the kind of rhetoric Charles Davenport used to get all that Carnegie money to fund the Eugenic Record Office.

That’s why we call the TESCREAL bundle second wave eugenicists.

@SkipRhudyWriter They just let them parrot propaganda to the public 🙄

When journalists ask me about oh but the CEO himself is warning about his own thing causing extinction, I tell them to wait a few days and see how he’ll also argue the other side, that he’ll bring utopia.

Both sides of the same coin marketing his product as a machine god.

Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be relics of the past in less than a decade, and that "we can create an age of miracles"

“You know, if today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness, these will be relics of the past in, I think, less than a decade."

"And I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way."

"I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia."

"We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time.”

If you do not see this man, and his peers, as cult leaders, you are a fool. They are playing all angles simultaneously—doomsday cult, healing miracles cult, secret knowledge cult, messianic cult—and it’s been effective.

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown.

@tarwatirno @thecollegehill Exactly. Thanks.

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

@ISASaxonists Apparently they care about those lives a lot more than me and my criticism of them is saying they’re eugenicists for caring about those lives, since they care so much 🙄

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

This is how much effective altruists are threatened by my words that have alerted so many about their eugenicist cult. Their unlimited billionaire💰doesn’t stop them from being so scared of me. So fixated on me. Who do you think you’ll convince I want my own people to die?

[college hill || rachel adjogah @thecollegehill]

well in the case of effective altruism, the philosophical dust was used to blind people to the greatest fraud case in US history

more generally, it serves as an ethical smokescreen for people who want to make a lot of money working in finance and not feel guilty about it

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

@jarradconnor @AmbassadorRice Yes. One of the most awful among the TESCREAL orgs. I even tweeted about them recently. But Bernie Sanders is getting “advice” from them.

[y @loomdoop]

Effective Altruists are freaking out that the name is starting to be known as what it is - a eugenics cult - rather than effective and altruistic.

Somehow they stayed under the radar in spite of spending hundreds of millions on political influence. Anthropic changed that.

@BenjaminPDixon We need to show his bought out self the door.

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

@xriskology No need to defend me to the cults who know what they’re doing in trying to smear me. I scare them, that’s why they’re fixated on me. Their actions here prove that indeed, they’re not racist at all. They care about “poor Africans” so much, unlike me who wants my own people to die.

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

Do you think I care that you smear me in your cults & circles? That just tells me you pay attention to me cause I scare you.

And the level you’re fixated on me? You’re not racist at all. Not like you use “we help Africans” as a front.

You care so much don’t you 🙄.

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

Mainstream media, on the other hand, breathlessly parrots the doom side (same coin as preaching utopia just other side), without asking “didn’t you just claim it was gonna kill us all like yesterday? Which one is it?”
