It seems like most of the other AI researchers, at least those mentioned in that summary, agreed with Gebru? So while Gebru may have been “acting in bad faith,” it seems that the consensus, at least as the article presents it, was that Yann was wrong.

Maybe you’ve noticed that almost everyone who thinks this was probably justified is using a throwaway, and everyone who is claiming it was unjustified is not. Only one group stands to lose their careers here.

The same is true of AI research Twitter.
