@mhoye Interestingly enough, this means not only that there weren't any minoritised people in the room, but also *no people that take any pride in their work*. Obviously the racism is weird and icky, but even taking that out, plagiarising from a white guy who was actually good at his work would still be aggravating.
Which means that everyone in that room was a mediocrity.
Indeed!
Also the brown guy is remote, visually, and voiceless (as in gets no opp to convey anything, as a person).
And they're all doing what they imply is "what the boss wants" eg doing what it takes to "get ahead".
Very fucking au courant.

Somebody made a pitch for this and somebody said yeah that's a great idea let's make that and then somebody did and then somebody looked at it and approved it and aired it.
You can tell who's not in the room, you know? You can tell who either isn't there, or doesn't feel like it's safe for them to speak up.
@mhoye Maybe they thought they did a good job checking the "diversity" checkbox.

I don't see anything where he says to copy his coworker's work. He just says "make mine beautiful".
Competing on beauty .... seems all wrong.

@mhoye
also you're supposed to be on a team working together for a company's goals, not your own personal glory. People like that are ones I don't want to work with especially if they're using AI and being bigots.

@mhoye Incredibly telling that a company famed for its crabs in a bucket approach to performance reviews, punishing team leaders for giving too much praise and requiring they have a certain number of employees at the 60% firing threshold no matter how well they're doing as a team, thinks this is what will sell their product. Got to use AI, entitled white guy, got to make sure you get a good employee evaluation! You don't want to lose your job to a more qualified, hard working minority, do you?
