there are too many uninteresting debates here about wokeness that lead nowhere, so I'm not starting one.
But it is the very definition of wokeness to evaluate this situation on the basis of a white guy's race and gender, as if that indicates anything (everything?) about his POV.
- rplnt 3y agoI don't think that's the case here? No evaluation, just a response to the parent comment saying "you are wrong, here's why".
- SantalBlush 3y agoThat wasn't the point. They mentioned the "white guy" in this case because it was relevant to the insinuations of wokeness.
- kmlevitt 3y agoI couldn’t care less that he’s a white guy. My point is simply that the instigator of all this was the exact opposite of a “diversity hire”, so it’s illogical to blame what happened on people getting hired for diversity rather than competence. Sutskever is by all accounts highly competent at what he does. He just didn’t agree with Sam’s vision, that’s all.
