Brilliant article by @timnitGebru and @xriskology on the constituent right-wing ideologies in #bigtech. They are connected to #transhumanism, endorse the use of emerging technologies to “enhance” humanity & create a new “posthuman” species.
No surprise that their common genealogy goes back to first-wave #eugenics.
Also no surprise that fuckups like Charles Murray, Linda Gottfredson & Peter Singer are masterminds of those utilitarian movements & their obsession w/ IQ tests

"Instead of having the multitudes of humans around the world building tools serving their own needs, the TESCREAList techno-utopia entails diverting resources to create their singular vision of a superior being with characteristics determined and controlled by them."

"Anthropomorphizing systems output by organizations striving to build AGI by calling them “thinking” or “sentient” machines obfuscates the many exploited humans involved in training and evaluating these systems, as well as the resources that are consumed in the process."

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
