TED is one of the biggest enablers of this "AGI" scam, and one of the biggest ways to circle more money amongst more white dudes. Period.
Why not do an "interview" with the myriads of traumatized, exploited workers and those protesting genocide to discuss "safety"?
Those are not from populations TED is interested in. They don't fit the bill of "a scientist" or "innovator." There are only certain things that Black people are supposed to talk about in front of white saviors.
