Throwaway and being intentionally vague for obvious reasons.

I knew Anthony some years ago. It was clear to me from day one that not all was right with his way of interacting with the world.

I suppose his nanny apparently had enough emotional intelligence to pick up on this and enough situational awareness to take notes.

I wish there were a safe way to share this, especially if it turned out to be useful in any way beyond schadenfreude.

Sorry but I have a hard time considering your comment a meaningful contribution to the thread, since it is extremely common for people to #metoo with 20-20 hindsight about other people. The more lurid the details the stronger their conviction.

This Uber-Waymo affair has devolved into absolute tabloid-level nonsense and we should all collectively be ashamed of it.

Fair comment.

Levandowski made it clear on more than one occasion of his admiration of some explicitly sociopathic tendencies. More than a few people noticed and talked about it. I'm not sure anyone did anything -- except, perhaps, his nanny apparently.

There's a bigger conversation in there I'd like to have, but I haven't sorted it out in my own mind, and I'm sweating even writing this much.

Wired and Techcrunch turned into Daily Mail and Independent of tech news quite a while ago.
What exactly are you sharing? It's not illegal to be an asshole. It's also not important to anyone that you knew him years ago and think he's an asshole, so where is the schadenfreude coming from?
They are saying that they feel schadenfreude about Levandowski going down.
