Nirit, thanks for that cordial conversation a while back. Would you be willing to answer these questions about your funding and affiliations here on Twitter? @DrTechlash

@tegmark I know it’s hard to accept that someone is against AI Doom without being paid by Big Tech. But here we are.

@DrTechlash @tegmark Being "against AI doom" as in being for humanity?

@DrTechlash @tegmark Would you like to directly address this video? Do you endorse this unethical approach you took, or would you like to apologize for it? https://x.com/michhuan/status/...

@DrTechlash @tegmark To clarify, you weren't funded by the @abundanceinst?

@DrTechlash 'Against AI Doom' 🤣 (framing 🙃) Thinking abt future AI systems + feedback with humans is complicated/non-linear and certainly not binary ('for' or 'against' anything)

@DrTechlash @tegmark I respect your stance, but how do you plan to mitigate AI's negative impacts?

@DrTechlash @tegmark Are you not paid to do anti- AI doomer research and communication at all, or just not paid by Big Tech?

@DrTechlash @ylecun @tegmark is Sam Altman and others pushing AI doom in order to promote investment ? to make AI look so important that no one wants to miss the bandwagon. amazing how linear algebra suddenly became sexy and dangerous.
