Jeff Jarvis calls the report incomplete, cites eugenics roots

Media critic Jeff Jarvis responded to the Washington Post piece on Mastodon, arguing it omits the TESCREAL ideological lineage of the AI-doomer movement and its funders, which he says traces to eugenics.

“This is bad, incomplete reporting that Googling # TESCREAL would fix: These doomer "movements" & funders have roots in eugenics. That's the story.”
