Re:Yann LeCun quits Twitter amid acrimonious exchanges on AI... by googlethrow1825 on Wednesday July 01, 2020 @03:40AM (#23698880)
I'm glad you are saying this. I work at Google (and so does Timnit Gebru). Recently there has been a somewhat similar discussion on an internal mailing list. A very senior person at Google got involved in the discussion and backed Timnit up.

It made me feel very uncomfortable, because I wanted to say something like "the issues you are pointing out are very important, but I don't think you are right in this instance" but I was afraid doing so might jeopardize my career at the company.
