Here's the timeline I get: - Timnit submits a paper to a conference about environmental costs of large language models like BERT. Note Google invested massively in BERT for their infrastructure this year. - Right before the external deadline, she submits it for internal review - Internal review asks for revisions, they want mitigations they worked on mentionned at minimum in the paper. - She responds to these with an effective "publish or I QUIT" email - However you put it, she gets terminated. - Gebru is somehow shocked at this and posts her half on social media Seeing this develop over the last day, I've grown less empathetic to her side of this affair. She created an unwinnable situation, then responded with an ultimatum.
