I think the utility of quitting loudly depends on how many people are currently paying attention. Jacob's announcement yesterday warranted a splashy headline in the Wall Street Journal. It's not clear that doing so six months ago would have had the same effect. I imagine that as AI angst among the public continues to grow, employee departures will be more widely noted and have a larger impact on public sentiment.
