Stanford professor Anshul Kundaje criticized AI company PR machines: 'the scientists are well intentioned, but the PR machine quickly corrupts the message,' aimed at Goodfire AI-related outreach. Researcher Ryo Ybioinfo responded twice, explaining the original post wasn't a PR trick but a balance between technical and non-technical detail, promising more sincere content while expressing admiration for Kundaje's work — a notably civil academic-vs-corporate-comms exchange.
