I understand these seem to be sensitive and 'political' issues in the US. I just do not understand how any of this labeling and segregation can be productive in a workplace.
- skywhopper 6y agoYou don’t understand how trans people might have specific things in common to talk about that non-trans people don’t relate to? These groups aren’t just for political hot topics, but also for parents or for musicians or runners or any other affinity group.
- PeterStuer 6y agoI can surely understand how that can be the case. I just don't see why that would be specifically relevant to generally working on Google Brain.
- whoknew1122 6y agoI can't speak for Google Brain specifically, or AI/ML (I do InfoSec). Perhaps there is a need for discussing the Google Brain project specifically from a woman's point of view. But when I hear about a 'Google Brain Women and Allies' distro, I'm more thinking about peers which discuss things which impact them. I wouldn't get too hung up about the 'Google Brain' portion of the distro; it's likely just a way to self-select a group of peers which share a common interest.
