Meta appoints anti-DEI and anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor Robby Starbuck has been appointed as an AI bias advisor at Meta with the goal of making the company's chat bot less "woke."

Jesus was flipping tables in the temple when injustice called for it.

"Civility above all else" is a siren call from those comfortable with the status quo.
