@msbellows@c.im @timnitGebru@dair-community.social The "Future of Life Institute" holds the position that AI is dangerous, so you should give them money to give to neo-Nazis. (Specifically; Max Tegmark gave $100,000 of his group's funds to a Swedish neo-Nazi group that his brother worked for. Then he reversed that after everyone yelled at him.)

@msbellows@c.im They play both sides of the coin like Musk. They're like OMG the devil kind of AGI is an "existential threat". You need to give US the money to build the benevolent god type of AGI before someone else (e.g. China) builds the devil kind of AGI. Hence their ridiculous "pause AI" letter that got a lot of airtime back in 2023 signed by Musk and others, a few days before he launched "XAI" 🙄 ,https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2021/07/the-dangerous-ideas-of-longtermism-and-existential-risk. They attacked us for exposing them.
