Timnit is far from silent. She could share them if she wanted to. She appears to think that that would hurt rather than help her.
- rbanffy 6y agoConsidering she says she made a list of issues she'd like fixed and that she'd discuss it when she came back from PTO without ever mentioning resignation and that was answered with a "we accept your resignation" passed on to her reports, I believe she has legal representation. The financial implications of her resigning vs her being fired are probably significant. In Google's place I'd probably negotiate an agreement with a non-disparagement clause. She'd be compensated and everyone would save face. And we'd never be discussing this. She could take other research roles and advance the state of AI in peace.
