Yeah what did including commentary on decolonization and third world researchers bring to this article? Is it like a dog whistle? Is this stuff just part of the gestalt now?

H.He has some overlap with the EAI community which has more crab-bucket tendencies when picking topics and/or mocking other groups. Even the more positive sentiments seem to be somehow crab-bucketed a bit (and, bizarrely at least to me, a large amount of politicking).

I'll visit there occasionally, but it's just too toxic a sphere for me to want to contribute research to. I get an itchy feeling whenever I try to seriously investigate an opportunity for contributing open source research in that group.

To what are you referring? Has the post been edited after your comment?

I think gp's referring to this meme [1] embedded in the article. I believe a charitable interpretation would be that it's satirising the various entities who have voiced opinions against large scale deep learning (from skeptics and theorists, to social activist types that want to slow or stop DL's march). No need to take it too seriously.
