extra crazy when they only claim dei when it's convinient and easy but in reality dont do jack shit, plus berkeley refusing to return stolen native items, banning masks, funding zionists, calling cops on peaceful students and blocking graduation✨

provides a lot of mentorship for the PhD application process, great for folks who want to return to school after being in industry, and a goal is to improve diversity in domestic CS PhDs.

It's super helpful! I def would not be a student at ucsd without this fellowship (mostly cuz im weak af)

It's financially similar to NSF GRFP (ie 159k over 3 years) but the main difference is: you apply to the fellowship before you apply to PhD programs,

i feel like the zeno paradox and chasing moving goal posts rather than building actually useful things can be seen in many different downstream NLP tasks, but it's particularly 🤢 in this context of western big tech using "DEI" as pretext for just further exploiting the global majority / Africa

".. a Zeno's paradox where the trend in low-resourced NLP is like chasing a constantly moving goalpost instead of building useful tech .. concentration of power and resources reinforces colonial structures .. [put] decision-making power in the hands of the community and by shuffling resources .. "
