Emily M. Bender: Between the PRs of (largely likely stolen) math breakthroughs, claims of "rogue AI" (actually cybercrimes by companies, but whatevs), and doomerist "whistleblowers", it feels like we've been subjec…
Emily M. Bender: And people have the gall to refer to all of this as "new empiral evidence" (of "AI" or "AGI" or something) and demand that we respond to it. >>
