Looking at all this drama, the AI researcher sounds toxic:
* Picked a public Twitter fight with Yang LeCun
* Her peers are so afraid of critiquing her paper, that they demand anonymity through HR
* Tells co-workers to stop working on documents
One of the things that has been emphasized in tech for the past several years is not to allow justifying retaining toxic people on account of their talent. In addition, your life experiences don’t justify being toxic. For example, even if a person’s Dad was an abusive alcoholic, that would not justify them being abusive to co-workers.
