Twitter began its highly anticipated mass layoffs Thursday evening by eliminating its top internal critics. Twitter’s Ethical AI team, according to former staff, is no more.
Multiple members of Twitter’s Machine Learning, Ethics, Transparency and Accountability (META) team, including its former leader, posted on Twitter saying they were no longer at the company. At least one of the former workers suggested the entire team was being disbanded. The apparent layoffs impacting the company’s strongest internal watchdog group comes as thousands more brace for cuts potentially impacting around half of the company’s staff according to previous reports.
Gizmodo found tweets from around half a dozen META team members claiming they were impacted by the layoffs. META head Rumman Chowdhury posted a screenshot of apparently being locked out of her Twitter email account alongside a tweet reading, “Has it already started? Happy layoff eve!” Chowdhury, who spearheaded a number of transparency initiatives at the company including launching a first of its kind algorithmic bias bounty challenge, went on to say, “it’s definitely only downhill on this hellsite.”

It’s like 1984............
“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink”
― George Orwell, 1984

No worries, Chowdhury, 7-11 is hiring.
LOL!
That one's good enough for the Bee to write a story around it.
“Pronouns: was / were”
That’s gold, Jerry! Gold!
Interesting that many of the names of the high profile whiners are Indian.
When you hear a team invoking “ethics” you’d better start counting the spoons.
Coal miners are in more and more demand. #learntomine
I think they mean “Al Gore rhythm.”
Don’t forget the IRS and they get to have guns and ammo.

90% are Mike Lee’s H1B America hating sub-continent trash. Deport every one of them back their shithole countries.
Too bad, so sad...
Thank you. Come again.
They misspelled “unethical”.
Yeah I’ve noticed that too. We have too damn many Leftists of our own. Stop importing even more from India!
I’m sure the CCP has an opening or two....
“Twitter had an “Ethical Team”? “
Yes, they persecuted anyone who had ethics.
