AI researcher Timnit Gebru resigns from Google
This person forced Yann LeCun (one of the top 3 AI/ML researchers today, head of Facebook AI, and an ML researcher since the 80s) to give up on Twitter after she took exception to this tweet of his: <a href="https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1274782757907030016" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1274782757907030016</a><p>She lives her life attacking people who she disagrees with, and brings in race/gender into any conflict where she's involved.<p>I am surprised Google had hired her, because it was only a matter of time they'd become collateral damage in this roving tornado of hate and aggression.<p>From what I have seen today, she gave them an ultimatum: do this, this and that or else I will leave. They decided to not do those things she demanded, and then proceeded to fire her before she could do any more internal damage.
