2024-04-22 20:45:00 And when they finally overcome their fear of the regime and stand up, its these refugees that the German government retaliates against. To the supporters of the regime doing this, karma finds a way. ናይ ኢድኩም ይሃብኩም።

2024-04-22 20:44:54 Which means that their spouses and children who have continued to languish in unsafe, even WAR TORN refugee camps, will continue to do that. In case of convictions, these reunification plans will be terminated. All because the German government continues to let the monstrous totalitarian Eritrean regime operate with impunity, and harass refugees, even with ARMED GANGS.

2024-04-22 20:44:11 It is truly heartbreaking to hear what is happening to the Eritrean refugees who protested in Germany. They escape unimaginable horror only to face repression at their destination for which they had to give up everything and endure horrible torture to get to. Then you have various German police collaborating with Eritrean regime agents to target these people. People on whom investigations have been opened have their family reunification plans halted.

2023-03-17 02:59:37 E.g. when someone wants to make a movie out of your book, you negotiate a fee, a percentage. But although Open AI was founded with $1B, so far they have shared ZERO of that with the people they got the corpus.

2023-02-28 05:15:38 @EricHallahan @emilymbender Your bio says you are an undergrad. Do you similarly address your professors where you are as Ms? Or do you address them as professor? Professor Bender does not have the time to engage with any random person on twitter. Neither do many of us actually.

2023-02-28 03:42:54 @examachine @multihyphenate In fact I would've never cared about any of these ideologies if it weren't for the harm they've caused in my own field, that I can't get away from.

2023-02-28 03:42:50 @examachine @multihyphenate And what we're interested in is AGI not these ideologies in and of themselves. I'm personally not interested in finding the good transhumanist crowd in as much as I am seeing what exactly the basis the ideology was formed on, as well as what it has resulted in.

2023-02-28 03:40:32 @examachine @multihyphenate What we talk about is the history, like how transhumanism was developed by a number of twentieth-century eugenicists, including Julian Huxley, president of the British Eugenics Society from 1959 to 1962.

2023-01-05 18:44:28 Each time some well paid corporate executive goes out of their way to gaslight victims who're perpetually terrorized, they make it infinitely harder for victims who have to muster every ounce of strength they have to speak up, and face horrible consequences with lifelong effects.

2022-12-21 19:34:36 @jdegourville @davidvolodzko Every racist country denies its past unless its forced to confront it. This denial is exactly that. They had an explicit plan to increase whiteness by many different means.

2022-12-21 17:13:05 The lightening speed from "stay woke" being a phrase created by Black people to "woke" being used as an insult by white people. Smh.

2022-12-21 17:10:43 @jdegourville @davidvolodzko They had a policy to deliberately eliminate the Black population through a number of means. So no lies detected.

2022-12-21 16:33:28 @davidvolodzko @niqueco I thought only white supremacists and right wingers use the "stay woke" phrase that Black people created to fight for basic human rights while being killed on the streets, as a derogatory term.

2022-12-21 16:23:34 @aburone @man_w_a_plan @davidvolodzko You can read the writings of Afro-Argentines or maybe talk to them to understand that history if you want to. If not, you can continue to argue with someone else.

2022-12-21 16:22:24 @aburone Really why do we even bring up anything in Argentina's history w.r.t. Black people? It didn't happen at all right? Smh. Sit with your anti-Blackness for a sec if you can't even handle people talking about what was done to Black people.

2022-12-21 16:21:24 @aburone There were really absolutely no policies against Afro-Argentines at all. What am I even talking about, there were probably even NO Afro-Argentines besides the handful of "imported" slaves who had a great time. An estimated 37%-50% of the population at some point was NOT Black.

2022-12-21 16:18:36 @aburone My bad. I got it wrong. They imported Africans (with first class tickets on boats), gave them roses and honey, and they had no policies against them at all. They just wanted to preserve Blackness, with all the dark skin and the African cultures. And that was really the policy.

2022-12-21 16:15:33 @aburone @man_w_a_plan @davidvolodzko Better yet you can talk to Afro-Argentine scholars who wrote about it and the level to which the rest of y'all whitewash this history. https://t.co/7hkmLzmQiT

2022-12-21 16:15:20 @aburone @man_w_a_plan @davidvolodzko You should read a history book about what happened to those "imported slaves" before you start coming for Black people who have the audacity to discuss the level to which the whitening policies demolished them.

2022-12-21 16:12:47 "Imported slaves", and then they just died from a disease, no policies in action at all. No racism, no eugenics, they just disappeared just like that. Poof. The level to which these atrocious histories are whitewashed &

2022-12-21 16:09:19 @aburone @davidvolodzko Yes sure they were just wiped out by a disease, it was just something that happened.

2022-12-21 03:14:48 @davidvolodzko And that’s exactly the point Argentina had a whitening policy that got rid of the high percentage of Black people (estimated as high as 37% at some point) they had in their population and people act like this didn’t happen and pearl clutch. SMH.

2022-09-18 03:04:39 @RichFelker @NeurIPSConf So the assumption is that there's at least 1 author in the visa privileged group, given where they've always had their conferences.

2022-09-18 03:03:57 @RichFelker What's so wild to me is that people didn't even have the option to present their accepted papers remotely before the pandemic at conferences like @NeurIPSConf!!! And it was a requirement that an author be present.

2022-08-31 20:37:43 Yep it is. Because they never name actual structural issues like racism, sexism, classism, colonialism, etc. In fact they make sure not to. So "alignment" of "values" means aligning to their values. https://t.co/rRhdibJREl

2022-08-31 20:29:47 What is "AI denialism" (I've never heard of it)Is it like "climate denialism"?"AI denialism has gained traction" lord.

2022-08-31 20:28:14 There's part of the blogpost that says "so many of today's desk jobs can be automated." So much presumption.

2022-08-31 20:26:15 So many assumptions about things like "of course we need to build large language models" is an assumption where don't build it is not an option.

2022-08-31 20:25:37 Now talking about what "toxic" means and "who gets to decide what is toxic" That suggests zero power analysis. Like assuming everyone has and even playing field. Lots of systematic analysis of this in Black feminist literature.

2022-07-14 04:35:27 @kimballscott There is a deliberate blockade. No food, no medicine, no fuel, no phone, no banking. The blockade and siege need to be lifted and the international community needs to apply pressure for that to happen.

2022-07-14 04:27:16 The babtism of all the clearly malnourished babies with their heads so much bigger than their body. "The international community remains silent and so the people of Tigray turn to god."Finally finished watching all 24 harrowing minutes.

2022-07-14 04:12:40 After 2 days the hospital won't even have oxygen. The old woman dying of starvation describing how it feels. How her intestines hurt, how her body hurts. The painful slow death by starvation. How can anyone watch this and STILL engage in genocide denial?Barbaric.

2022-07-14 04:09:23 An 11 years old child shriveled away into only 8 kilograms just sleeping on the hospital bed waiting to die because they cannot do anything. No food. No medicine.And everyone can just watch this video, these images. People know this is happening.

2022-07-14 04:06:15 The doctor: we have many patients dying of malnutrition. We are here just to watch them die. Nothing else. They have absolutely no food in the hospital. No medicine. And they just watch helpless babies die. We are so cruel really. Humans are awful.

2022-07-14 04:03:49 The baby who was taken to the hospital, then released then back because the mom couldn't feed him, and now just on oxygen because they have no milk or any food for him, severely malnourished. At least in the early 80s these images seemed to shock the world. Business as usual now.

2022-07-14 01:28:14 I’m thinking that an “interconnected world” means one where no one pays attention to genocide, maybe because of information overload. How else can one explain the lack of coverage of #TigrayGenocide? Shouldn’t images like this shock the world into action?https://t.co/yk6RcV7yZO

2022-06-23 19:00:28 @Abebab Do not expect less from a community where we got death threats for noting that perhaps their name shouldn't be synonymous with a porn site. Can you imagine the amount of deliberation that they required to slightly change their name? And what it took out of Anima?

2022-06-23 19:00:24 @Abebab I sent an email with a few words in it. I'm done doing labor like that and being rewarded with more harassment and zero consideration on their part for how to properly gather in put if that's what they wanted.

2022-06-23 18:58:36 @Abebab I mean I was asked to comment on the Ethical considerations guidelines or some other report they wrote and I go to open review to find the first comment from playdoh flamingos.

2022-06-23 18:02:38 "“The big AI labs have a responsibility to cut it out with the hype and be very clear about what they’ve actually built,” Bender says. “And I’m seeing the opposite.”"

2022-06-23 18:01:08 "“This could be a moment to better educate the public as to what this technology is actually doing,” says @emilymbender...“Or it could be a moment where more and more people get taken in, and go with the hype.”

2022-06-23 18:00:13 "In a statement, Google spokesperson Brian Gabriel said the company was “taking a restrained, careful approach with LaMDA to better consider valid concerns on fairness and factuality.” OpenAI declined to comment."

2022-06-23 17:58:56 And I'm sure VCs poured more $$$ into the "humanitarian project" that is Open AI. What a joke.

2022-06-23 17:58:55 "Ilya Sutskever, a senior executive at OpenAI suggested on Twitter that computer brains were beginning to mimic human ones. “Psychology should become more and more applicable to AI as it gets smarter,” he said."

2022-06-23 17:56:58 @mmitchell_ai says. “We know something like this is going to happen. It’s foreseeable. But there’s such a breathless fandom around AI and modern technologies that really sidesteps the serious issues that are going to emerge and are already emerging.”

2022-06-23 17:47:40 "Google and OpenAI have long described themselves as committed to the safe development of AI...But that hasn’t stopped them from publicly hyping the tools, announcing their capabilities, and describing how they made them."I'd add most of the well resourced institutions here. https://t.co/7c3mFalBc1

2022-05-30 03:14:08 “When we critically examine effective altruism and longtermism, we can see them as falsely utopian ideologies cloaked in the opaque vocabulary of science and math.”

2022-05-30 03:12:57 “unlike longtermism, the seventh-generation principle doesn’t pretend to be scientific. It doesn’t rely on unfalsifiable guesses about a future we can’t even imagine to assign expected values to different political decisions…it makes thinking about the future a moral imperative

2022-05-30 03:11:12 “…in the United States, the last few years has seen rising interest in small-d democratic institutions like labor unions and mutual aid organizations. These efforts may be inefficient or messy or unpredictable, but are good in part because of those facts, not in spite of them.”

2022-05-30 03:09:35 “What might “moral good” look like outside of market-derived values (like the maximization principle)? How can we collectively decide to allocate resources? How can we build societies based on principles that cannot be measured, like mutual respect and solidarity?”

2022-05-30 03:08:36 “Ineffective altruism eschews metrics, because “What does doing good look like?” should be a continuously-posed question rather than an optimization problem.”

2022-05-30 03:08:04 “Ineffective altruism might look like…knitting a social and political community together…how can one quantify the resiliency of a particular neighborhood?…how strengthening community is also important for our shared future, even if it isn’t measurable.”

2022-05-30 03:03:07 “Besides the moral hazards of advocating these positions, these ideologies provide an overly simplistic formula for doing good: 1) define “good” as a measurable metric, 2) find the most effective means of impacting that metric, and 3) pour capital into scaling those means up.”

2022-05-30 03:01:57 “Just this week, 80,000 Hours released a piece that argues for effective altruists to not focus their careers on climate change — a process which will uproot hundreds of millions of mostly non-white poor people and cause billions to experience chronic water scarcity…”

2022-05-30 03:00:23 “A relatively small cadre of longtermist academics housed within and legitimized by influential institutions can advance ideas that guide how governments and venture capitalists think about and shape the future.”

2022-05-30 02:59:22 “And the allure of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) — a major focus/fear of effective altruism and longtermism — is especially clear in industry, where multiple startups and big tech companies pour billions of dollars into research and development.”

2022-05-30 02:58:55 “According to data from the Open Philanthropy Grants database, in 2021 effective altruists donated $92 million to AI risk research..Altogether, this $125 million towards longtermist existential risk research represents a larger slice of donations than any other individual cause.”
