This is the weekly article on how not enough women are going into STEM fields and how underrepresented women are in the AI field. This one has an interesting twist, though -- AI systems built by men are sexist. If you ask about "engineer," you get masculine pronouns. If you ask about "nurses," you get feminine pronouns.
Maybe that is serious stuff, but the article goes off in the weeds about the acronym of the "Neural Information Processing Systems" annual conference - "NIPS." It's been used for decades, but in 2018, it suddenly offends enough of the perpetually-offended that it had to be changed (one would that Japanese conference-attendees would be more put-off by the conference name than women).
Everybody has way too much to worry about these days. Just do your damn jobs.

The title suggest satire.
But the compost is serious — about something.

This is insane.
They start with an obviously false assumption, that men and women have equal abilities and interests in all things.
That is insanity.

Why is “uterus” a masculine noun?

Easy fix. Change the name. I suggest, Brain Oriented Operational Boundary Systems.

Every field discriminates against women...until they dumb-down the standards. Then they don’t discriminate anymore...

What do you call a Base 57 system?

I like Total Integrated Technology System.

Why don’t they just convince half of the tech guys to become women?
To: goldstategop
Exactly. Get half the men to say they are women and problem solved. I mean they are already winning women’s sporting events that way, why stop at ai.

They just need to build logic systems that
go completely haywire every 28 days then return
to normal with no memory of being insane...
