schestowitz[TR2]100 Years of IBM RacismOct 30 06:44
schestowitz[TR2]I believe racism remains a real issue at IBM, but its manifestation may have evolved. In some instances, DEI initiatives appear to have been exploited, distorted, and we-ponized by certain groups to advance their own interests, potentially creating or reinforcing new forms of racial discrimination under the guise of promoting equity and inclusion. In that sense, a framework intended to combat discrimination can itself become a vehiOct 30 06:44

schestowitz[TR2]About 20 years, it was apparent there was evidence of white racism towards others. The last decade has shown, there is racism by Indians toward others.Oct 30 06:45

schestowitz[TR2]It is being used as the foundation for a series of anti-Proton, anti-AI articles by 404Media.Oct 30 15:31
schestowitz[TR2]“Your job has fundamentally changed. It is no longer to write code, and LLMs are not here to help you write better code faster. Your job is to help the LLM write better code faster.”Oct 30 15:31
schestowitz[TR2]The “AI Manifesto” ends with the following statement:Oct 30 15:31
schestowitz[TR2]“The bottom line is that we are in a new world. "Programming" is dead. Engineering is not, nor is expertise. Your old job is gone. Your new job as a builder will let you do more and have more impact than you ever have, if you seize the opportunity. And Proton will set you up to do that, efforts you will hear more about in the coming days and weeks. The era of experimentation continues, but the time to act is now. The future is heOct 30 15:31
