Last was an absolute tour de force by @timnitGebru on #eugenics and the promise of utopia through #AGI at #SaTML2023. This talk came out three months ago, but watched in the context of the most recent #AI "open letter" absolutely eviscerates the premise of it by placing the focus on "AGI" in its historical context. Gebru methodically lays out the line from early 20th century eugenics to the current forces pushing the twin AI doom & utopia scenarios.
