Very small update: I no longer see Pedro featured on any slides on the UW CSE homepage slide deck (https://www.cs.washington.edu/ ).

@uwcse has now posted a thread supporting AI ethics research generally and objecting to Pedro's comments:https://twitter.com/uwcse/status/1337649032454279168?s=20 …kylethayer added,
Allen School @uwcse#UWAllen leadership is aware of recent “discussions” involving Pedro Domingos, a professor emeritus (retired) in our school. We do not condone a member of our community engaging in a Twitter flame war belittling individuals and downplaying valid concerns over ethics in AI. 1/11Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread

I am so sorry for students of @uwcse who had to put up with this toxicity. I am shocked @uwcse made it a policy not to respond to him. No wonder he is so fragile now! He is not used to anyone challenging his bigotry and misogyny https://twitter.com/pjreddie/status/1337603506052554758 …
