Timnit Gebru Calls Out AI Doom Profiteers
Timnit Gebru calls "existential risk" narrative harmful marketing.
#AI Ethics#Timnit Gebru#AI Safety#Stochastic Parrots#Industry Critique

š„ What happened
Timnit Gebru calls the AI existential-risk narrative not just a distraction but harmful. Her key point: the same billionaires funding Anthropic also fund the institutes warning about AI doom.
š” Why it matters
The warning infrastructure isn't independent ā it flows from the same money as the companies that profit. Warning about your own product inflates its perceived value.
ā” Our take
If you fund your own apocalypse, you're also selling it. Check funding flows before you buy the doom takes.
