People are appealing to some kind of "authority" regarding these opinion docs from random dudes working at Google where if they knew the dude's name rather than the fact that they work at Google they would not.
- cwp 3y agoYou don't think a Google AI researcher is in a good position to comment on how Google is affected by recent developments in AI? I mean, yeah, it's an opinion, but it's not just anyone's opinion.
- somerandomdudes 3y agoThis is really some random dude. If the dude posted it on his personal blog HN wouldn't pay any attention to it, but because it is a "leak" of an "internal Google document" somehow it becomes more valuable than it really is. The author is mid level software engineer without any publications in major AI conferences. So the appeal to authority here is really unfounded.
