If you're wondering what Google was so terrified of @timnitGebru publishing, I got a copy of the paper. Here's my best summary of what it says. Thank you to @emilymbender who coauthored the work for sending it my way. technologyreview.com/2020/12…
We read the paper that forced Timnit Gebru out of Google. Here’s what it says.
