I'm not clear about how Yann does not take it seriously? He even admitted respect for Gebru's work. He's just making a technical claim that this is due to data bias. Whether that's true, who knows, but I really don't see how he is being callous in all of this. I'm not sure I understand what the issue is at all.

To agree with your point, LeCun did many things which indicate he takes this seriously: 1. Responded with a detailed summary of his views. 2. Said he was open to changing his mind in the face of convincing arguments; indicated a desire to learn. 3. Asked people to stop attacking his opponent, in response to unfair attacks on her. 4. Only a week ago, sent multiple tweets out about the problems with a paper which demonstrated racial bias. https://medium.com/@CoalitionForCriticalTechnology/abolish-the-techtoprisonpipeline-9b5b14366b16 https://medium.com/@CoalitionForCriticalTechnology/abolish-t... There's something in between not taking someone seriously and agreeing with their argument.
