People resorting to protest via causing inconvenience. Which is probably one of the more effective forms of protest anyways.
All those people sitting in the middle of the road blocking work traffic aren't endearing anyone to their cause.

#13I'm guessing this is a result of these two concepts not being far from each other in vector space? Like a data-driven version of "miserable failure" Google Bombing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bombing

You're talking about them. Their goal is not endearment.

In your mind how should they protest?

It's a valid question though - in class issues, the power structure is capital vs labour. Either you have a lot of money to push for change, or you have enough people pushing for change that money can't sway the popular opinion.
Your perspective puts you on the side of capital, though something tells me that you don't command the ability to commit millions of dollars to push for societal change on a whim. So if you were to try to rally others to a cause, what methodology would work for someone like yourself?

Apartheid protesters also didn't try to endear anyone. Why do you think protests need to entertain and endear for a cause? I'd venture you've never actively participated in such acts...

#20Silly idiotic activism aside it's concerning that if someone working at Apple managed to slip in such a bold change into the OS then can a malicious group do the same?
There’s another angle about ML systems: say this is some issue with a model having two terms too close to each other, how would you prove it wasn’t malice or offer assurances that something like that won’t happen again? A lot of our traditional practices around change management and testing are based on a different model.
