The second paper cites the "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can
Language Models Be Too Big?" paper that got Timnit Gebru and Meg Mitchell fired from Google. It must be pretty galling to get fired for a paper and then have the company that fired you cite it a year later.
- johncena33 5y agoPlease stop spreading disinformation. Mitchell got fired for leaking company documents to outsiders. When people spread obvious lies, that makes me thing they don't have anything substantial to begin with. that's why they need to resort to lying.
- advisedwang 5y agoI haven't dug up the details, so perhaps my recollection is wrong, but I thought she got fired for co-authoring the paper under "Shmargaret Shmitchell" name when Google asked them to withdraw? I'm sure Google made lots of accusations if asked for comment, that seems SOP, but what actually triggered it? What documents did she leak?
