...On Thursday evening Rumman Chowdhury, listed on LinkedIn as a Twitter director of machine learning ethics, posted a photograph of her failing to sign in to her Twitter email, with an error message revealing: "Your password was changed less than an hour ago."

She later added: "It's already started—just had the honor of being thanos snapped."

Chowdhury is referencing a scene in 2018 Marvel movie Avengers: Infinity War, when protagonist Thanos snaps his fingers, causing half of all life in the universe to disintegrate.

These are make believe jobs and job titles that do not exist anywhere except for maybe Google and Fakebook. If a candidate’s resume crossed my desk (euphemism for todays process) I’d $hitcan it

Well, at least some of them know how to code, they will probably get jobs elsewhere. The ones who can’t code will get jobs with the FBI and Dept. of Homeland Security doing what they do now, harrassing and censoring conservatives.

global politics content classification strategy

So, a censor. An unemployed censor. Try North Korea, I hear they're hiring.

Lefties on Twitter are freaked out saying things like “we already had free speech.” “ Musk wants to let in hate speech.”
