Nick Bostrom is actively being revived. Someone trying to setup the "equivalent of the London Book Review" in Berlin had the audacity to invite me to the SAME event as Nick Bostrom and let me know that Nick Bostrom will also be joining.

You can imagine what I wrote back.

"Two of the most exciting results, the experts say, incorporate preexisting ideas from the recent mathematical literature without properly citing them. This contradicts OpenAI’s initial press release, which said that the problems Astra addressed “have been open and seen no progress on the main result for at least a decade.” (OpenAI has since updated the language to be more accurate).

“They are running roughshod over the work of others who came before them in a deliberate way,” says Stephen Miller, a mathematician at Yeshiva University, who argues that OpenAI has effectively plagiarized his own research. “It seems completely systematic to me, and it points to research misconduct.”

"The LLM-generated proof hinges on a particular mathematical argument that it presented as its own but that actually first appeared in a 2016 paper by Miller and a collaborator..."

"Like a number of recent AI breakthroughs, it pasted together ideas from the mathematical literature to build a new theorem. Once again, the LLM’s trick is its superhuman patience for assembling puzzle pieces, not the ability to make some profound intellectual leap."

"“there is the big PR machine that wants to sound as impressive as possible and does not care about being 100 percent accurate,” he says."

Friends, you may have seen this but if not, sharing:

Any guesses as to why this isn't prime time international news with over 200+ articles per minutes and abuse on social media and think pieces and such?

What could possibly be the reason? 🤔 I can't possibly imagine.

This is what real academic fraud looks like.

Friends, when I sent this message to my team laughing, I didn't know that this fairytale blog had been shared far and wide until someone asked me for a good source debunking this nonsense.

At a certain point I have to ask myself if I got all this pedigree and spent decades doing research and building things to then spend the rest of my life attempting to come up with good arguments as to why the Cookie Monster isn't real.

I'm not sure what planet we're living in at this point.

As I discuss in my upcoming book, a few years ago, they had an effusive cover story on the Effective Altruists, written by a then Time editor who is now the communications director of Open Philanthropy (Facebook cofounder's outfit), which is now rebranded as Coefficient Giving.

The random Effective Altruist troll paid by billionaires to push disinformation about the environmental impact of AI (that its fake), being platformed on the Time 100 AI list tells you everything you need to know about mainstream media's role in the pushing the broligraphy's propaganda and disinformation. This troll suddenly became popular through coordinated social media campaigns.

So well deserved 🎉 🎉 🎉

Friends, have you seen the investigation on UK students, including those at Oxford and Cambridge, hiring Kenyans to write their papers and dissertations?

I assume it wasn't cross Atlantic news as the media only seems to be interested in laundering eugenics into the mainstream.

Think about the audacity of them telling Black people that we're subpar DEI hires and frauds such and these students hiring Black people to do their work for them and pass it off as their own.

Well, well, well, I KNEW that the hounding of Arday was gonna get connected back to the TESCREAL bozos somehow. See this "paper" by the guy who hired Cofnas at Ghent University.

Reminder "dysgenic" is the opposite of "eugenic," they mean Black people and other undesirables reproducing too much.

Reminder, the L in TESCREAL is for "longtermism."

These are also the people pushing generative AI down your throats.

I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣

✴️ You can now preorder it at https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-Unlearning/Timnit-Gebru/9781668093078

✴️ Is there a local bookstore that you think should order this book? Can you let me know, or, even better, let them know?

✴️ Is there a place I should plan to come for a book tour when the book is out? Can you lmk?

We're in the era of incompetence and cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI and Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media and clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

"As Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei Asia found in a recent investigation, just five US tech giants — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle — are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets. That’s even more than the $1.35 trillion in debt the five companies officially reported in their financial data for the most recent quarter."

Its all about "free markets" and "let the market decide" until you have competition that shows how full of bullshit you are and then you run to daddy Trump saying to stop these bad Chinese models from entering our market.

The irony of OpenAI and Anthropic running to the government to save them whenever there’s competition and it’s this government that complains about “handouts” and communism.

Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in branding and marketing. Lol and branding what happened as OpenAI now working to "help calibrate on what models are now capable of" is top notch propaganda skills.

Like I would have thought someone would go to prison or something but no, its been redirected to "model capabilities" and the press is talking about "rogue" models and such, not what OpenAI just did.
