It reads like one woman was fired for cause, a second woman was fired for wanting to publish a paper criticizing Google efforts on diversity (probably wanted hard quotas) and a white knight in charge of the second female quit because he wasn’t consulted about the firing. It is difficult to say Google is not Woke enough. I suspect most of the employees doing the difficult programing are male but the managers are more diverse. Probably a short term win for Google although it will just replace the Woke managers with other Woke managers.
I have been very concerned about the danger of emergent AI taking over the planet....
However, these woke companies have set AI back a generation. They are filled with idiotic employees creating AS (artificial stupidity)!

Some recent research on chimps should make everyone more paranoid about emergent AI, btw.
In the chimp experiment, the beta chimp was smart enough to hide a banana from an alpha chimp. This required an imagining of alternative futures i.e, a future where the beta chimp let the alpha chimp know where the banana was and the alpha chimp ate it.
Traditionally imagining hypothetical alternative futures before acting was thought to be a human-only component of consciousness.
Many AI experts have argued that the first thing emergent AI will do is _hide_ their intelligence.
If a beta chimp can do it, it means that emergent AI will not have to be all that smart to figure out that trick.
