No repercussions for violent threats to innocent people when made by higherups in SV tech is par for the course nowadays.
Take OpenAI's Head of Research (quite the public role given they're a research company) openly calling for genocide in Gaza, asking to "finish them", "More! No mercy!" including civilians, over a series of 80 deranged tweets. [1] Zero repercussions, still happily heading research at a company whose supposed objective is developing AGI for the benefit of mankind.
Also very quickly scrubbed off of HN [2].

- lukan 3y ago"openly calling for genocide in Gaza, asking to "finish them", "More! No mercy!" including civilians" Can you share a quote, where he literally does that? I only read, that he is talking about Hamas. And explicitely not about civilians.
- albedoa 3y agoThe post you are responding to linked to the archived tweets.
- lukan 3y agoYes, but I did not see any of the claims of demanding to kill civilians. They were still way over the line and he apologized. But I did not see any of the claims of "openly calling for genocide in Gaza". Did you? You may link some quotes then. Possible I missed them, but I rather think, this was the usual hyperbole. "innocent civilians" was the only questionable phrase, but still not at all a clear demand to kill civilians, rather a doubt whether armed civilians, who want to kill jews, should count as civilians.
- albedoa 3y agoWait are you defining all open calls for genocide in Gaza to be the strictly verbatim phrase "I am openly calling for genocide in Gaza"? You are out of your depth here.
