Pedro Domingos

But he notes in his article he deliberately chooses targets with "symbolic value" that he perceives as "more vulnerable" than him. Note that he has never threatened @pjreddie to the best of my knowledge, for example.

What he wrote after the affairs, doesn't change the facts: a "professor" today is not much more than a moving target to all sorts of cruel, vindictive persons, imposing on him (not her) harsh standards to de-humanize him, and strip him of any dignity, while pretending to fight>>>

>>for justice.

Furthermore, you continue to conflate self-defense tactics with an act of aggression. While fighting the enemy in self defense it is only justified to attack its *weak* sides, to win the battle.

Pretty sure this all started with Pedro’s trolling. Hard to claim self defense when he inserted himself into the situation (as he so loves doing)

(And by “this all” I mean his involvement. I don’t think he got, like, dragged in by Timnit, he chose to go after her because, as he says, he purposefully targets people he disagrees with politically who he thinks are vulnerable)

In what world, my friend, a famous, allegedly rich, educated researcher at Google (!) is "vulnerable"? I would think "privileged" would be a much more appropriate qualification here.

Why you asking me? Pedros the one who said it. If I had to guess though it’s because Googles happy to fire people on a whim while Pedro himself feels protected by tenure and his status in the research community?
