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.

@jeffjarvis @timnitGebru i get pushback from a particular booster on this becaude 'TESCREAL is an externally applied lavel, unhelpful and discriminatory' or some bullshit.
Then they start on about LGBTQIA... As if it's relevant to this at all.
I just can't with these people and their blinkers
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.

@jeffjarvis It's almost as if the media is complicit in the rise of fascism, and the culture around "neutrality" was always a sham by crypto fascists and their liberal allies to white wash this ideology.
It's almost as if every journalism professor that demanded "neutrality" from their students was also aiding the rise of fascism, either directly or tacitly.
You all made this bed. You are just as responsible as Elon.
@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.
