This is not new or novel. It was women -
@timnitGebru, @mmitchell_ai, me, et al - who rang the AI alarm years ago & were retaliated against, pushed out for doing so.

It doesn't look like either person you mentioned (TimnitGebru, mmitchell_ai) is linked in your post -- in case you wanted (or didn't want) them to see it.
Edit: They've been un-linked here, in case the latter is the case (you didn't want to link them).
@onlybrownmastodon I'm always open to being linked to by @Mer__edith !!
