First to stop clapping. By attaching an inconsistent critical theory to something complex like machine learning, it elevates the ideological speaker to being percieved in the eyes of an audience as equivalently competent to the people whose work they are criticising. This is the trick of all critical theory, and if you do not challenge them, it means that you are going to have to pretend someone yammering on about climate justice knows anything about your field.

Saying something "harms the planet" these days is just code for pointing out targets for subversion, subjugation, and governance. The next best they can do is be bullying and disagreable. I'm tired of this bullshit narrative stuff. What's doing the most harm to our planet is putting up with it.
