No judgment about whether Google was right or not. Same for Lemoine. As a career move for him, this only makes sense if he wants a brief, meteoric career in me

No judgment about whether Google was right or not. Same for Lemoine.
As a career move for him, this only makes sense if he wants a brief, meteoric career in media or public advocacy. He can get articles published in The New Yorker and go on TV now. Maybe he can sue Google and get a settlement.
In five years, there will be AI systems much better than LaMDA and no one will return his calls.
He's got a name, whereas if he took the boring, traditional career path, he'd have to publish, give papers & speeches, and work his way up through the system. It depends on what you want out of life, I guess.
- kareemsabri 4y agoYeah, this is the only move I can see where this makes sense. Become an AI talking head to normies who don't understand what it is. Kinda like Sam Harris.

- chris11 4y ago> Same for Lemoine. Lemoine got a lawyer invovled and they started filing lawsuits on the AI's behalf. I'm not shocked he was fired. https://fortune.com/2022/06/23/google-blade-lemoine-ai-lamda-wired-attorney/ https://fortune.com/2022/06/23/google-blade-lemoine-ai-lamda...
- res0nat0r 4y agoI'm sure google gives some leeway in eccentricity for this type of job position, but now it's become more harmful than helpful, so they let him go.
- bagels 4y agoIs he lying about the lawyer thing?
- UIUC_06 4y agoIf not, he should feed the whole body of statutes & case law into the bot, and then let it be its own lawyer.
