SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo

Calvin’s dad voice: The two types of philosophy are mysticism and lists. All philosophy falls into one of these two categories. Plato? Mysticism. Aristotle? Lists. Confucius? Lists. Zhuangzi? Mysticism. Despite constantly talking about true essences and infinite attributes, Spinoza is lists.

That AI systems can be oppressive is a simple enough idea. What this article does is to develop the idea in detail: a taxonomy of ways that oppression becomes instantiated, a diagnosis of the contributing factors. Very rich in examples, this might be fun to teach if you have an AI class!
