This is Samy Bengio, not a random google engineer. He's a founding member of Google Brain.

  Is it confirmed he left due to the firing of the ethics researcher

    From TFA: “Though he did not mention the firings in his farewell note, they influenced his decision to resign, people familiar with the matter said, speaking on condition of anonymity.”

      Considering I've been quoted in articles as an anonymous source on stuff I don't know anything about, I'm willing to bet no one can confirm why he left except Bengio himself.

      Just a bunch of gossip, that allows newspapers to get some ad money. Any newspapers that don’t have this kind of gossip?
