Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."
So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.

Disappointing news. I am so tired of seemingly intelligent people parroting AI hype. -
On another day, we'll discuss why this is happening.
Effective altruists and overall TESCREAL bundle billionaires have infiltrated the labor movement and journalism, offering fellowships with staggering amounts of money like they invested ridiculous amounts of money into these companies claiming to build machine gods.
Money for the "problem" and money for "the solution."
@timnitGebru yes! As always... Follow the money

Crassus and his fire brigade of slaves.
Set the house on fire > negotiate to buy it for nearly nothing > put the fire out > sell it back at a grossly inflated price.

"First a toy, then a tool then a weapon". The AI Ethics debate is so shot-through with self-dealing I just don't think I want to waste time on it. I will be ethical in congruence with my belief we are all in this together. that as I fare, so also shall our machines be created in our image.

You don't believe Altman is such a figure but you think Amodei, who insisted that OpenAI use all 10,000 GPUs and train the biggest model possible, when he was there, is such a figure?
In his video, Bernie is literally creating a Claude ad, showing the system as an all knowing being that answers all of his questions. An ad for Anthropic, a company claiming that they can't even confidently say that "Claude isn't conscious".
@timnitGebru@dair-community.social Ya, I'm so tired of the "let's ask a chat bot about chatbot-related issues". It isn't interesting that someone coerced a chatbot into saying something even I might agree with. It's just a random word generator.

@timnitGebru from another perspective: it might be a move to convince people that only believe in god, that god is dead, which they would only believe if said by itself.

Bernie has been repeating, almost verbatim, Dario Amodei's talking points, for a while now, even quote tweeting him. Amodei positions Anthropic as the ethical alternative to OpenAI just like OpenAI positioned itself as the ethical alternative to Google in 2015 and everyone ate it up. This was an article from then, the headline says that Muskrat, Thiel, Altman + friends founded an "altruistic AI venture"
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35082344@timnitGebru cancer kills you in stages. First it starts hovering up all the resources to grow at the cost of everything else, then it puts pressure on other systems making it hard for them to function (markets / governments)
It then either crushes everything else to the point of killing its host and itself
Or it fails leaving catastrophic damage to the host. (Bubble collapse)Even if the magical black box machine god manages infinite exponential growth as promised (which I doubt) it kills you either directly or by consuming your ecosystem. A child can see linear systems are by definition one way.
The total lack of regulation, the misappropriation of resources (intellectual and other) and the push to militarize by dumping more resources into it bodes so very well.

@timnitGebru I was really disappointed to hear Bernie in some interview a while back play the doomer card. All I can think of is who has been pouring poison in his ear. As he talked I realized it was the Amodei gang and it was further proof that one should not get too attached to popular figures.

@timnitGebru And developers. A developer here was boasting just the other day how she got a big grant from Bluesky for dev on activity pub and couldn't see why it was a problem.

@timnitGebru I saw the clip and found it weird that he talked to the LLM is if it was a person and had actual knowledge and analytical abilities. Also the answers were so perfect that it didn't feel genuine. It would be easier to write a script of the conversation beforehand, which is what we're seeing in that clip.

Money for the "problem" and money for "the solution." - that's the literal definition of HyperNormalisation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNormalisation)
This documentary keeps popping into my head recently, things keep reminding me of it's thread on Technological utopianism.
Still highly relevant 10 years later, and maybe eerily prescient

It's so disappointing to see politicians who should be calling out Trump BS and the simultaneous AI crowd that works to support him so oblivious to the hyperbole. The world and USA needs a younger generation of politicians that are more tech savvy and yet cynical about the industry and its players
As an old guy getting played, it's clear Bernie's judgment and ability to help proactive moves against Republicans and their oligarchs has eroded or he has been compromised.
Bernie's video is what I would call #trojan_ai

#trojan_ai in the sense that the AI discourse disguised as journalism never questions the ethics of the AI and so becomes marketing.
Your Camel/Marlboro example is a good examplec of the "any publicity is good publicity" idea.

@timnitGebru oh yes the ethical alternative who does so much for education that they erm… gave us access to their free elearning module about how to use one's discernment and due diligence to become "AI fluent" (not "literate", that would set the bar too high). BTW, I completed the elearning in 2 minutes using the age-old heuristic of "the longest answer in a multiple choice questionnaire is probably correct".

@timnitGebru Bernie lost his way years ago, and I hate how his most ardent (and white) supporters continue to alienate the fuck out of Black and Brown folks who might actually support his positions.

@GeoffWozniak @timnitGebru This is what I think is happening to lots of would-be resistance leaders. Capitalist propaganda throughout the Twitterverse seeping into public figures' thinking cause they don't think it possible to leave (or even *sometimes* deviate from!) posting on mainstream platforms - E.g., Yanis Varoufakis
