I don't understand why everyone here is talking about Lambda not being sentient or Lemoine's state of mind. None of that is relevant here. He was fired for literally taking confidential information and leaking it straight to the press. This is instant firing at any company.
- pnt12 4y agoThere's not much to discuss there: "man shares information company forbid him to". Yawn. But thinking about his concerns, how he tested the AI: that's interesting. Or it could be interesting, as it seems he just asked loaded questions, and the replies from the AI occasionally re-enforced his beliefs. Double yawn,I guess.
- unethical_ban 4y agoIt may be legally cut and dried, but the next question is do we as a society trust Google to act ethically with such substantial developments? Assuming he were correct, and Google was suppressing information, would he be in the moral right to leak it?
- just_boost_it 4y agoIf he really was an engineer working on this, you'd hope he'd be pretty expert, but you'd at least expect him to understand what was going on in the model. His outburst showed that he really did not.
- ehsankia 4y agoHe wasn't working on lambda itself, he switched (specifically) switched to a team whose job it was to evaluate Lambda (not the people who make it).
