I'm fed up with incomplete, credulous reporting like this. I sent the email below to the four reporters. To other journalists: please Google TESCREAL before you write the next story about these dangerous nutters in charge of the technological future.

More crappy, incomplete reporting on AI doomers from the WSJ, normalizing Jaan Tallinn, a leading funder of both AI & TESCREAL doomers. Reporters: Google TALLINN & TESCREAL. Do your work.
He’s Completely Terrified of AI—and He’s About to Make Billions Off It

@jeffjarvis @timnitGebru Humanity is suffering an extinction-level ignorance event.
@jeffjarvis I will never understand how transhumanists can be racists.
@jeffjarvis Save us from one more profile of a "math whiz in tortoiseshell glasses."
Good work, Jeff! Thanks for what can be seen as an urgent Public Service Announcement, as well as a badly needed slap in the face of too-complacent journalists and publishers.
Yet another example of irresponsibly incomplete reporting, treating doomer #TESCREAL cults as if they're do-gooders, this one going so far as to quote Bostrom without mentioning he as ousted from Oxford for racist emails. It's eugenics, people. Do your reporting. Google #TESCREAL. Call @timnitGebru. Enough.
Is this how the world ends? Extinction scenarios are taking over the AI debate.
