The tone of her replies is regrettable:

Yann: “ML systems are biased when data is biased"

Timnit: “I’m sick of this framing. Tired of it. Many people have tried to explain, many scholars. Listen to us. You can’t just reduce harms caused by ML to dataset bias. Even amidst of world wide protests people don’t hear our voices and try to learn from us, they assume they’re experts in everything. Let us lead her and you follow. Just listen. And learn from scholars like @ruha9 [Ruha Benjamin, Associate Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University]"

I don't like engaging this kind of discussion but have to call out the "I'm so tired" bit every time I see it.
