Google has close to a 100k employees. I wonder how the other 99% feel. This is America no one is stopping her from starting the next google and crushing google.

This reminds of the Chappelle skit when keeping it real goes wrong.

She published a paper without getting it reviewed talking shit about google. I am sure she was generously compensated. If she wants to talk shit about google she should probably do it when she doesn't work there.

Her job was AI ethics research. Also, she did get it reviewed and it was accepted, as Jeff Dean's letter confirms. Management just changed their mind and decided the review procedure wasn't enough because they realized they didn't want someone taking their AI ethics job seriously.

Why would she not work there, no company is perfect. Plus working there provides her with a particularly good insight when it comes to criticizing Google.

This is why so many of us look down on the US and their ease of firing people that don't buy into the groupthink.
