It's happening - Google and big tech are 'institutionally racist' lmao
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55281862
Timnit Gebru, a highly influential artificial-intelligence computer scientist, is at the centre of a race row that has engulfed Google's AI research workforce and raised passions beyond. She says she was fired by Google after it took issue with an academic paper she had co-authored. And Dr Gebru and her supporters believe institutional racism played a role in her departure.
The paper focused on issues related to AI language models - including structural bias against women and people belonging to ethnic minorities.
Google says the paper omitted relevant research on the topic and Dr Gebru resigned.
An open letter demanding to know why the paper was rejected has been signed by more than 6,000 people, including prominent researchers at Google and its DeepMind division as well as Microsoft, Apple, ********, Amazon and Netflix, among others.
Google chief executive Sundar Pichai wrote in a memo: "We need to accept responsibility for the fact that a prominent black, female leader with immense talent left Google unhappily.
"It's incredibly important to me that our black, women, and under-represented Googlers know that we value you and you do belong at Google."
He added the company would investigate its handling of the matter but stopped short of apologising for Dr Gebru's departure.
Dr Gebru is far from satisfied with that response and has now spoken to the BBC. The following interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
Not cliffing that long-ass interview, sorry.

You always know what's coming when you look these people up. Every. Fukking. Time.
These dumb fukks have the most punchable faces. This is probably why the ugly fuks are being mobbed in school, too. It's a natural instinct too purge those for the good of society.
Maybe I should write a paper on this. Google would probably be interested.

imagine developing artificial intelligence, and instead of using it to create a better world, you just use it to complain about how you've had a hard life

Its kind of ironic that my google news feed has been punching me in the face with this story for a week now.
Eat in a deficit to lose weight.
Hit your protein and fat minimums to stay healthy and keep your gainz.
Lift heavy and do HIIT to look and feel awesome.
Use the internet to learn why you should do these things and how to do these things.

The only way to survive is to adopt jewish strategy - make your ethnicity interchangeable with your religion and thus become a protected class. Abandon christianity, or make an offshoot of it and name it "Whiteism" or "Caucasianism". No tongue in cheek, it has to be taken seriously. Then list all of the offensive stuff as bigoted on official CDL (caucasian defense league). Otherwise RIP.

Of course the paper omitted relevant studies and data -- these types of things always have to cherry pick and manipulate to make their story make sense.
