Timnit Gebru. Great name for a Star Wars minor character.

An SJW getting kicked out of Google is a good thing.

So, would this best be described as the electrified chair or the trap door above the shark tank disposal method?

Not white chick. Decision was made by Jeff Dean, head of AI. She’s one of these faux researchers responsible for tweaking algorithms for their ‘racist’ bias. But it isn’t just for race, it’s for every leftist cause.

And yet I’m sure she happily supports and encourages cancel culture when it’s against people she dislikes.

I don’t think her “AI skillz” seem to be noteworthy either. Her research claim to fame is “finding” racial bias in image recognition - or basically criticizing. No real ground work in CREATING

Gebru is a very common Ethiopian name. It’s like “Smith” or “Jones” for them.

She was born in Jigjiga, which could also pass for a Star Wars planet. Go find the Jedi Trainer Timnit Gebru on planet Jigjiga.

She set conditions to remain at Google. The company wouldn’t meet them. She’s gone. End of story.

Related to “Hebrew?” Lots of Jewish Ethiopians. Some even say the Ark of the Covenant is there.

Horn-of-Africa region: Ethiopian, Eritrean, Somali ...

She lost me when she wrote her email in second person singular present tense, “you” this and “you” that. If a person wants to relate events that have happened to her, she needs to use first person singular, past tense.
