Saw Timnit Gebru sharing this as an indictment of the culture around AI research as a whole, and how both pro and anti AI discourse have been captured by a group of people who by rights should be physically ejected from polite company, let alone a professional engineering environment. Some pretty heavy reading about institutionalised rape, assault, and brainwashing/ostracisation of victims, Caveat Lector.

@neumann it stops being "following market trends" and starts being a foreseeable bubble once everyone at the top of the ponzi scheme is able to leave retail investors holding the bag.
