| Stallman's return to the Free Software Foundation sparks revolt It turns out people have not forgotten after all Richard Stallman's return to the Free Software Foundation's board of directors has drawn condemnation from many people in the free software community. Stallman got into hot water when he cast doubt upon the reports that AI pioneer Marvin Minsky had sexually assaulted one of Epstein's victims. In an email chain sent to the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) mailing list that was published by Motherboard, Stallman said that "the most plausible scenario" was that Epstein's victim "presented herself to [Marvin Minsky] as entirely willing". Stallman described the distinction between a 17 or 18-year-old victim as a "minor" detail, and suggested that it was an "injustice" to refer to it as a "sexual assault". The emails first came to light after MIT alum Selam Jie Gano posted about them on Medium, and she said they would have been seen by undergraduates who are themselves 17 or 18. MIT professor Marvin Minsky, who died in 2016, was chums with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. https://fudzilla.com/news/52590-stal...-sparks-revolt |
