François Chollet on Twitter: "The good news: got to retweet the profile of lots of amazing folks doing great work The bad news: apparently there are lots of dudes on Twitter who get extremely angry at the idea of underrepresented folks in ML/DS getting a tiny sliver of extra exposure It has been eye-opening"

  Black people make up well under 0.5% of the ML/DS world. So: 1. It would be great if that changed 2. It won't change if we just do nothing 3. Giving them a bit of exposure won't kill you

  I was wondering how many hoards you'd trigger with your last tweet. Ignore them. I've heard every rendition of their viewpoint and none of it is worth your time.

  I thought it was really cool, small things like that seem more genuine and helpful than just tweeting platitudes. Sorry to see you got so much hate, hope you can focus on the positive!

  @AFHStewart has been retweeting some shocking responses from people very angry at him offering mentoring preferentially to BAME and/or women writers

  The pushback and hate is similar to the one #womenintech got (& still get whenever a dude feels she crossed HIS imaginary line) !
