Jill Filipovic

But I want to address something first.

The first thing I want to address is there's a post by, pardon me, Jill Filipovic, she is a prominent feminist.

She writes for Feminist, which is the largest feminist blog out there.

She used to write for The Huffington Post.

itinterruptions, wildly out of touch anecdotes, weird and deeply unpopular takes on education, regulation, and more, all in the backdrop of an argument that Huang constantly makes clear is no more than if something is scary, we shouldn't talk about it.

Jill Filipovic: This entire interview is worth listening to.

I was so curious to hear the it's all gonna fine case for AI, but it was just a human ball of arrogance claiming that it's all going to be fine and no regulations are needed because optimism, and he said so.

R King: Yeah.

This is a Nonzero podcast.

You are Jill Filipovic.

Did I pronounce your last name right?

You know, very close.

But in the months that followed...

The nation's trauma and collective grief morphed into something uglier, hardier, and less focused, said Jill Filipovic in Slate.

The U.S.'s first military response was reasonable, an invasion of Afghanistan to hunt Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the attacks, who was being shielded by the Taliban.

But then the Bush administration sold a war in Iraq to grieving and credulous Americans with faulty intelligence and flat-out lies.

But Derek Thompson chimed in, saying, "Yeah, I don't know or follow his work very closely, but America bad seems like the gist." [laughs] Okay, that's a, a reductionist take nonetheless.

[laughs] Jill Filipovic asks, "I truly don't mean to sound like a reactionary right-winger, but if you genuinely hate the United States and think it's the worst, most evil country on earth but you are a wealthy person with a job you can do from anywhere, why would you live here?" She continues, "I don't mean that people who criticize the US should leave.

I criticize the US.

I also live abroad, but in some ways, that has made me appreciate the US more.

They refuse to grapple with the substance of Hasan's assertion because the thought that America, statistically speaking, commits more acts of terrorism than Al-Qaeda is too much for these people to bear.

So they try to brush that inconvenient fact aside, so I guess they can continue to live in ignorance and tell themselves that we're the best country in the world.

But let me at least respond to Jill Filipovic, who seems to be asking that question in good faith, because, you know, even though I can't speak for everyone Um, I personally do hate America because I am fucking outraged by the way that working people are treated in this country, and I'm also appalled by all of the pain and suffering that we cause around the world.

We are the most powerful empire in human history, yet we're using our immense wealth to inflict inconceivable levels of harm on other human beings, all so we can expand our wealth and our global reach.

Jill Filipovic.

If you think people are all of a sudden warning about the risks of AI, consider that the case may actually be that you are all of a sudden paying more attention.
