No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again:

I tell someone new about this every few days. Everyone needs to understand that the utility commissioner in Arizona got up there and said "it's not my job to keep you alive" on X. Well, what if it was? That's what the future of the electricity system is. It's public power. It's universal service.

If you have an easier time having certified eugenicists like Bostrom on stage discussing safety of non-existent "superintelligence" while having a hard time having people who're NOT white dudes, who actually know what so-called "AI safety" means, my conclusion is that you're in with the eugenicists.

In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science. The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.
