not often that i disagree with my mentor @sapinker, but i cannot endorse his endorsement of Gigerenzer’s essay; as @primalpoly notes below, people in Italy *underestimated* COVID risk.
politicians all over the world underestimated this one, and it has put us at grave risk.https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1241105454983532565 …

I am not surprised that
@sapinker does not care that#covid is deadly for so many people. I am glad@GaryMarcus is publicly disawowing it. I wish he also did that when@sapinker propagated racism and sexism and sent his followers to troll me and try to get me banned from Twitter
.@GaryMarcus told me that he privately talked to Pinker about #NeurIPS name change and sexism in #AI Alas I have not seen any change in Pinker. Nevertheless thank you @GaryMarcus for pushing this and for being an ally
