Ugh. Ok if you're going to push one-sided propaganda I'll push the other side.

Google forced its researchers to retract an already submitted paper because it undermined its strategic and commercial story around large language models. The "we just accepted her resignation" is just a lie. Google made harsh demands with opaque reviewers that made vague objections, and then Jeff Dean moved very quickly to get rid of Gebru. Other Google researchers reported that they usually got to work through objections, Gebru got no such opportunity. Google showed that AI labs will not tolerate internal research that seriously criticizes technology central to its business.

Dean pulled a sweet Dungeon Master move in "accepting her resignation." She should have made them fire her, esp for ostensibly doing the job she was hired to do.
