> bad behavior on both sides.

If the bad behavior of Gebru is not available online, what makes you think there was bad behavior on both sides? Why even make that judgement without information?




Oh, but it absolutely is available online. Start here: https://twitter.com/timnitGebru/status/1331757629996109824


Screaming off the mountain tops is not the act of a good solid person that is trying to make meaningful change. Not to mention they asked her to take her name off (bad) but if she was interested in change rather than her own personal interests it was not a huge sacrifice. She was already given a position at one of the largest companies in the world for AI to try to make meaningful change. Instead she chose to make a spectacle.

Gebru has not been forthcoming with information about what exactly she did in this situation behind the scenes. She has privacy and HR laws protecting her in ways Google does not. It is up to her to release the information and she has not.


You're just making guesses and not in good faith.
