The Times article has some eyebrow-raising details including a written statement from a lead author of the original paper who describes years of harassment and undercutting.
> Ms. Goldie said that Dr. Chatterjee had asked to manage their project in 2019 and that they had declined. When he later criticized it, she said, he could not substantiate his complaints and ignored the evidence they presented in response.
> “Sat Chatterjee has waged a campaign of misinformation against me and Azalia for over two years now,” Ms. Goldie said in a written statement.
> She said the work had been peer-reviewed by Nature, one of the most prestigious scientific publications. And she added that Google had used their methods to build new chips and that these chips were currently used in Google’s computer data centers.
Yet another blot on the Rorschach test, to be sure, but perhaps useful to highlight to consider the total possibility space.
