This is a garbage article that's presenting rushed low-quality software fixes as evidence of "the woke mind virus".
Evidence is links to their own publication, a Twitter screenshot, and "everyone I talked to said ...". The author is clearly talking about a small, trusted group that back the author's pre-existing views.
Trying to not have blantenly racist AI, another Tay, is a really difficult problem. Google's "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" approach to products, the features-first promotion process, and employees' honest desires to do the right are combined into a complex, awesome, and also flawed product.
It's simpler and more entertaining to believe that there's some conspiracy than to acknowledge the complexity, and the author uses that to further their victim complex.
