[croissants]

I'm with you that a lot of mass media writing about AI is silly, but I think this is article is not in that category. For example, it doesn't "aver [Speech2Face] is transphobic", that's from a statement by Alex Hanna, and that statement is immediately followed by comments from other people questioning the statement, and the piece in general is pretty even-keeled about giving space to criticisms and responses.

I think the article paints a good picture of the machine learning research community figuring out how to grapple with the growing number of people who want to probe its ethics, without portraying anybody as a villain.
