So, the only two women were removed from the board, and two ultra-alpha males were brought on. And everybody is cheering it on as the right thing to do!

Not judging, just observing.

Oh, cmon. Why must people reach like this?

How about we look at credentials, merit, and consensus as opposed to “what gender are they?”

>>maxdoo+zM
I am sure Larry Summers is highly qualified for this job. Would have been very hard to find a willing woman with his qualifications.

>>auggie+hZ
Why does being a man or woman even matter? Do we really need a DEI hire for the board of some of the most groundbreaking tech in years? I’m not saying Larry Summers has some perfect resume for the job; but to assume he was brought on BECAUSE he is man?

Cmon. There’s absolutely no evidence for that and you are just projecting an issue into the situation, rather than it being of any reality.

>>maxdoo+OF3
I think you are the one projecting. I am just presenting facts. There is also nobody black on the board, by the way. I don't think that is a problem, but it is what it is.

Now this "initial board", tasked with establishing the rest of the board, for a company that wants to create AGI for the benefit of humanity, consists of three white alpha-males. That's just a fact. Is it a coincidence? Of course not.
