Never in my life have I seen a world sanctioned genocide in full display, being livetweeted & live streamed, with officials not even hiding their intentions, and people condemning it being attacked in full force. Usually genociders take some effort to hide what they're doing.

Never have I seen people literally filming their death and this awful world of ours aids, abets and gaslights. Absolutely horrific.
Palestinian journalist films the moment an Israeli strike kills him and a fellow medic on live TV
"The most moral army"
Community note
The video is not from 2023. It's from an Al Jazeera episode (gaza the last picture) showing 2014 Israeli strikes against hamas.
That resulted in the death of cameramen Khalid Hamad.

I think it is helpful to read other cases of genocide denial if you want to help yourself figure out what to engage with and what not to engage with. The talking points are exactly the same. All genocides work the same.

Doing the work that the institution's leaders should have been doing, and exposing the issues with their investigation even after he did their work for them.
BREAKING: Stanford president to resign his post, retract “at least” 3 papers, after our reporting in @StanfordDaily exposed multiple papers with data manipulation and his refusal to retract studies when given opportunities over the course of 2 decades.

Regulatory efforts should focus on transparency, accountability and preventing exploitative labor practices." Image is "A yellow window with three images. On the right is an under water photo of a single bright blue and yellow tropical fish. The two on the left are simplifications created based on a decsion tree algorithm. The work illustrates a popular type of machine learning model: the decision tree. Decision trees work by splitting the population into ever smaller segments. I try to give people an intuitive understanding of the algorithm. I also want to show that models are simplifications of reality, but can still be useful, or in this case visually pleasing."

These racists make my blood boil. Not only was the person in question harassing protestors and STEPPING ON THEM, multiple people were doing exactly what this young man did and they picked the Black one to evict. Stay racist @Harvard. Stay racist.
Harvard is evicting a Black man, Elom Tetty-Tamaklo, for speaking out about Palestine. His crime? Protecting students from an instigator who tried to dox them. A senior university leader called Elom a “gang” member and pointed to his residence in Harvard Yard.
The university then suspended him as a residential advisor, citing “student discomfort” and promoting racial stereotypes about violent and unsafe Black men. This is a blatant lie, as none of his students have raised any concerns. Harvard is setting a dangerous, ugly precedent: free speech ends when Palestine begins.
Elom has unwavering courage to speak out about Palestine even when the Harvard community is witnessing its most horrific onslaught of anti-Palestinian sentiment. We demand Elom be immediately reinstated. How are we supposed to call out the genocide in Gaza, including the ongoing destruction of the Al-Shifa Hospital, when Harvard actively suppresses our voices?

People starving to death in front of our eyes, tweeting they prefer to die from drone strikes instead of starvation. We watch unable to do anything. We watch the world @UN @_AfricanUnion etc just sit back & watch.
We watch as there's barely any news coverage.

Being a Black woman means you get a PhD in a field, do award winning research & such & white dudes come over & ask you to show your receipts & compare yourself to cult leaders writing blogposts who have people worshipping their self proclaimed high IQ & talk about bombing things.
Yudkowsky is not working on machine learning and AI development research. Are you? How many of the people in that panel are? How many of them working on frontier models?
Eliezer is certainly working on developing and communicating his ideas about existential risk from AGI/ASI.

Well, its official. I have now signed up to write a WHOLE BOOK 😲
I am equal parts excited and terrified. But I couldn't ask for a better team than my agents Sarah, Katherine, and Anna, and editors Alessandra and Leo.
I guess I better get to work now!

You know what kills me? While @MIT is incessantly harassing them right now, years from now they'll use this as a recruitment tool. I remember when they talked about Black students' sit-ins at Stanford in the late 60s as if the administration welcomed them with flowers and candy.
Happening right NOW at MIT. Anti-war protestors calling for a ceasefire and an end to preventable civilian loss of life are being physically attacked, harassed, threatens by MIT administration with suspension. More footage in replies. #MIT

Imagine establishing a @UN body dealing with internet connectivity & human rights, holding its gathering in a country putting 6M ppl in one of the longest internet shutdowns in history—TWO YEARS. That’s what @intgovforum is. Chaired by @vgcerf “father of the internet”
Shameful.

"Why would you, a CEO or executive at a high-profile technology company...proclaim how worried you are about the product you are building and selling?
Answer: If apocalyptic doomsaying about the terrifying power of AI serves your marketing strategy."

"AI-art generators are trained on enormous datasets, containing millions upon millions of copyrighted images, harvested without their creator’s knowledge, let alone compensation or consent. This is effectively the greatest art heist in history. "

Surreal to see big shot Ethiopians doing analysis on Ukraine and the impacts it will have on the world’s food supplies etc while pretending a genocide isn’t happening in their backdoor where 7M people are being starved. Horrible lifelong lessons learned in the last 15 months.

"OpenAI has made GPT-3 available as a paid service but has not shared the model itself or its code....OpenAI declined an invitation to comment on Meta’s announcement."
😂😂😂
Isn't this like the most ironic thing ever? What's the "Open" part of Open AI?

Thank you to the Guardian for publishing this opinion piece that I wrote. The title I had in mind was “To reduce the harms of AI, we need to increase worker power” which is then gist of the piece.
