DEI efforts are under siege. Here’s what experts say is at stake
CNN ^ | 1/7/24 | Nicquel Terry Ellis and Catherine Thorbecke, CNN

Among the most vocal of these critics pushing back against DEI is billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who in the wake of Gay’s departure posted a 4,000-word opus on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that blasted DEI as “inherently a racist and illegal movement.

Ackman’s lengthy thesis was later retweeted by billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who now owns the social media platform

The “experts” are anti-white haters.

The real worry is that they won’t be able to preserve DEI without legitimizing white solidarity. But the logical implication of legitimizing black, Hispanic, and Asian solidarity is that white solidarity is also legitimate, rather than inherently racist.

Ackman is on the warpath. He is going to use ai to expose every plagiarist in academia. He wants to destroy their credibility and thus their funding. Every school kid from kindergarten on up is exposed to their commie crap. If he succeeds he just might save western civilization.

It’s a side point, but this CNN article has only two authors. If CNN were truly serious about DEI, there would be at least 20 authors. One for each major grievance group.

Shame on CNN! Bad CNN!

Yup—this is a wonderful use of AI.

The left may end up having to ban it to hide all their lies.

Ackman had an extremely well-written piece a day or so ago.

...Here’s what experts say...

Who would you want making major corporate decisions? These credentialed expects or a couple ignorante businessmen?

Haven’t these experts shown their superior decision making abilities by building something new and original in competition with a bunch of sharks trying to out compete them?

Virtually every academic has plagiarized By anyone with a modicum of intelligence does so by paraphrasing and rewriting so it is undetectable. Directly stealing without attribution shows laziness, stupidity, or both.

“At stake”

Our subjugation by virulent racists is at stake. Following that subjugation, the extermination of the entire white race is at stake.

Small things like that. Really, no big deal. Honestly.

I bet I could find ‘experts’ who believe blacks are mentally inferior to whites. I guess that makes it valid, right? God, I hate these people.

I'm supposed to be disabled and could take that route but the VA and associates rebuilt me so well surgically I choose to work for twice the income over what Disability pays.

The decider was that doing as much physical work as possible as long as possible maintains optimal health so extends life with a mind clear (or minimized) of creeping disease factors that are inevitable like cellular telomere degeneration.

While horrified to find that Spanish-speakers are indeed the majority of physical laborers I find even the strongest of them are totally focused on mass of output (quantity) over any regard far quality unless specifically called on it.

There is a culture of arrogance with them where the company coddles their insistence to not learn English and they have the temerity to feign being offended when I (supposedly) don't understand Spanish...while I get most of it having done Latin-based languages way way back. I would never talk so much shit thinking the person didn't understand, but have had fun grabbing them up and letting them go while laughing. Yellow stripes down backs are international.

The software companies programming A. I. will make sure it NEVER interferes with their agenda. You can take that to the bank.
