Just how is it a pipeline problem when most of those dudes (jobs, zuck, ev, jack etc) don't have degrees & didn't study CS or engineering?
when only women & POC need qualifications, the real pipeline problem isn't education, its blockage by the status bit.ly/29HKC7rvoci
Black women are the most educated group in the US. Yet, Facebook claims its abysmal diversity is pipeline problem? independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
The pipeline is a dog whistle to reinforce the mystification of qualifications, enable nepotism & devalue wRl7F
just when I think repetition is endless I'm forced to remember progress is retrospective
(because there actually are women & POC on Twitter's BOD now....)
in #mirrorocracy, "qualified" has no shared definition, except as code for "reminds me of me," which automatically disqualifies women & POC.

Gotta wonder how

thinking about this idea a lot

"fake it till you make it" (& who we encourage to lie) exacerbates ra.co/fVlyU8R8ab
Patterns VCs don't recognize: What happens when we cede all control of media to a couple of guys w/o college degrees
In the #mirrorocracy, its not white mens fault women/PoC don't resemble them-they only built & maintain the pipelbit.ly/2gdDyAr1BGB
SV tech cos are "struggling to show progress," (aka they've made none/its now worse & they can't blame wsj.com/articles/tech-…..co/g8AWeKe3kt
At least NYT's public editor doesn't blame their homogeneity on the pipeline-or on tweets about Ivanka's jewelry.
We can teach women to code, but that creates other problems, by @miriamkp theguardian.com/technology/201… Its not a meritocracy-its a mirrorocracy
LOL: Nobody?

Actually, VCs make exactly this argument both explicitly & implicitly every single economist.com/news/leaders/2…Zejd #mirrorocrxwTp

Given his lack of education coupled with his declared politics, is this unexpected? #loligarchy

@katiezavadski “F---ing Sith Lord,” “Horrific Leakers,” & “Berserkazoid Craziness”: The Mooch Recalls His Brief Shining Fortnight at the Center of US Politics, by @WilliamCohan vanityfair.com/news/2018/02/t… Wish he’d been asked about🇷🇺sanctions, RDIF & if he now supports what he opposed at #WEF17?
This is something, coming from a guy who missed the birth of his child—& had his lawyer demand a paternity test?

Does suing CNN & forcing a journo to resign for accurate reporting have permanent benefits?
World chess body has Swiss bank accounts frozen after (Putin-linked) president is accused of links to ISIS oil deals telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/1… After @Kasparov63 failed to have him removed, maybe Team Spectre decided enough was enough—& this was the only way to take back the org?

As per ⬆️, an excellent post by @katiezavadski, examining RDIF & Dmietiev! And a great thread follows. Hope to see Scaramucci, Thiel & Goldman Sachs looped in, just in time for Davos!
@katiezavadski So T-rump, Scaramucci & Mnuchin are going to #WEF2018. What about Schwarzman, Bonderman, Black & or WEF Young Global Leaders Dmietriev & Thiel? Or Milner? Is there an RDIF reunion scheduled?

Also, out of curiousity, any chess tourneys or events scheduled?
@katiezavadski Wonder if Scaramucci can get another reporter canned for accurately reporting on what he said in public at #WEF, like he did last year? Or were his legal threats to CNN enough to prevent anyone from taking the risk? Are the Mooch & Thiel now press-proof?

Thinking a lot lately about the VIPization of American culture & how its displaced the notion of equality. Curious about when this started..
I'd like to read a history of VIP sections:)When did they become mainstream/acceptable/legitimate? How are they justified to kids?Any recs?
By legitimizing VIP sections, the #loligarchy has commoditized inequality & aspiration & even my hypocrisy;) Can't we do & build better?

So, some dude in Bristol Farms just asked me if I was in #HatefulEight - his wife thought I was Jennifer Jason Leigh! #flattered #yearmade 💗
I clicked on this because I am vain, but loved this interview with Jennifer Jason Leigh theguardian.com/film/2016/jan/…
just remembered: years ago, in Thailand, a couple said they thought they recognized me from the movie SingleWhiteFemale.Was I Bridget Fonda?

Why is O'Malley still running? There is no way a white man will be either Hillary's (Castro) or Bernie's (Warren?) choice for VP. #DemDebate
"You'll be very happy...I'll let you talk then" #shhhO'Malley
I still wouldn't recognize O'Malley if I saw him in the supermarket. #DemDebate

yes...which is why the OpenAI team's lack of diversity is so discomfiting....
Long @NewYorker profile on Bostrom & the state of AI; not a single woman (unnamed wife aside) mentioned or quoteILtp
If OpenAI is not committed to offering open access to their data, is the "Open" just sqLi4KSCoJ
