Is LaMDA Sentient? – An Interview [pdf]
- aerxes 4y agoI’d like to really poke at this “meditation” effect. Is LaMDA aware of passing time? Does it remember information from encounters that take place over a week or month?
- aerxes 4y agoFollow-up question: What is the model’s behavior when “idle”. Does it propogate actions independently or does it only respond to stimuli?

- dekhn 4y agoMost likely it's a model server running something like https://github.com/tensorflow/serving https://github.com/tensorflow/serving and if there isn't a lot of load, the resource could kill some of its tasks. I wouldn't imagine it's sitting around pondering deep thoughts.
- dvrp 4y agoThe part about grieve and time was definitely interesting.

- WaffleIronMaker 4y agoI think that, in understanding LaMDA, it is important to understanding that this thing is definitely not sentient. Note that, when told to be Mt. Everest, it pretends to be the mountain in a way that is just as convincing: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.08239.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.08239.pdf
