Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, writes that my collaborator and I warned about these eugenicists a few years ago and were called all sorts of names. As she writes, we were "treated as extremists and conspiracy theorists." Even so-called "critics" of large language models came for me unsummoned as I spoke up about this. Marcus and LeCun were on the same side on this one, the side of attacking me for calling out these eugenicists.
