Hiring people to fill those roles might be pretty hard without repairing the damage done to those harmed last time around though

Admirable to try to rebuild, but rebuilding needs to come after repairing, otherwise what is built will quickly collapse

Unless---big unless---this is what the AI Ethics team asked for as a form of repair. Just somehow I doubt it, though please correct me if I'm wrong

I think repairing things directly for Timnit is probably not possible at this point, and I'm not sure how Meg feels about that. But there's still all of the people who haven't left yet who are still on the team and probably not feeling great about it

So I hope they've spoken to the team and asked what they want, or at least plan to do that. I honestly think a public "hey, we were wrong, that was kind of messed up, sorry about that; we're going to talk to the team and ask what they want" coupled with action would help rebuild
