  Talking about a ‘schism’ is ahistorical
  from https://medium.com/@emilymenonbender
  In two recent conversations with very thoughtful journalists, I was asked about the apparent ‘schism’ between those making a lot of noise…
2. This vision of ‘intelligence’ is rooted in the notably racist notions of IQ (and its associated race science). For example, take the recent “Sparks of AGI” paper (non-peer-reviewed speculative fiction novella, uploaded to arXiv) from Microsoft Research.
