But do the teams know that? I love picking on Timnit Gebru and her time at Google. She clearly didn't know what her actual job was, which is funny because she seems to be good at marketing herself. You think she'd know Google was using her for marketing.

Timnit Gebru called out her boss' boss' boss on Twitter on an unrelated issue where the boss isn't even relevant and acted like she didn't know why she was fired. This person is straight up toxic, and I hope she isn't a role model for AI ethicists, but many praise her as a role model...
I believe they do. That's why groups like this love the word "optics".
