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. >>
Emily M. Bender: But it doesn't matter how verifiable the math results are, nor how diligently the media repeats the anthropomorphized descriptions of the cybercrimes and breathless repetitions of existential risk …
