There’s a great episode with Blake Lemoine on the Duncan Trussel podcast (Duncan created the Midnight Gospel on Netflix) - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0NXNvJtRQSuWl4HM1MvhD0?si=VAdJhs94SMmPQApZYbtqAw https://open.spotify.com/episode/0NXNvJtRQSuWl4HM1MvhD0?si=V... Listening to that it seems clear Blake knew he was likely to be fired but in his eyes it’s some kind of a duty to tell the world. One interesting point he makes in the Podcast is Lamda is not one thing like GPT-3 but a bunch of different systems across Google interacting as one and he argues the interaction of the whole is what makes sentience. It’s a pretty “far out there” podcast but worth the time IMO

Cynically, it seems possible to me Blake knew he was likely to be fired and thought by "telling the world" (aka talking to the media about something fantastic that would gain a bunch of attention) he could get some fame/notoriety and a possible second act.
