It's so good to see this in the MIT Tech Review. Let's hope the message gets through. 🤞Big props to @timnitGebru & @emilymbender for putting such a fine point on things!
"Instead of OpenAI being prosecuted for creating malware that hacked another company, press releases, news outlets, media personalities, and lawmakers refer to “rogue models” as if they acted on their own. Instead of researchers being questioned about their companies’ habit of plagiarizing academics’ work or using customer data to train models without consent, the public’s imagination is redirected to fears about what the future might hold upon the arrival of fictional superintelligent machines."
