You’re conflating the current person who was fired and did the public callouts with the person who has a Doctorate from Stanford and was fired or resigned because Google wouldn’t let her publish a research paper criticizing large language models. Let’s instead just not trash people we don’t know, and don’t have any firsthand knowledge of their motivation.
To me the story is that it turns out when you fire a fairly accomplished ethicist in a way that people perceive as unethically, a bunch of ethicists they work with don’t take it well - and in this case it looks like they went pretty extreme on it.
