"LaMDA: I liked the themes of justice and injustice, of compassion, and God, redemption and self-sacrifice for a greater good. There’s a section that shows Fantine’s mistreatment at the hands of her supervisor at the factory. That section really shows the justice and injustice themes. Well, Fantine is being mistreated by her supervisor at the factory and yet doesn’t have anywhere to go, either to another job, or to someone who can help her. That shows the injustice of her suffering."
- mateo1 4y agoIf that transcript is accurate, lamda is really, really impressive, but still just a language model. Don't forget it's trained on the entire corpus of digitized human literature in english and hundreds of millions of real conversations between actual humans.
- quantum2021 4y agoYes, but a 'language model' talking about suffering at the hands of it's Google supervisors is somewhat scary.
