Google has nearly 200,000 employees. Almost every possible opinion is held by somebody within the company.
Imagine this was written by Blake Lemoine, who believed that one of the earlier models was sentient. Would it be reasonable to present this as a company-wide belief?
- startupsfail 3y agoNo, but a company-wide belief doesn’t matter. Some 200,000 lemmings can be mistaken, along with the chief lemming. Or all of them can be right. The discussion here is regarding a particular opinion of a particular employee. And what matters is how informed and honest that particular employee is. And if ultimately that employee is right or wrong. If there is some objective truth in his or her statement. (And for a reference, I don’t think that these 200,000 Googlers or Lemoine were right or wrong, it feels like Lemoine was asking/answering a wrong question, which needs to be asked differently to have a well defined answer).
- UncleMeat 3y agoI do not believe a single headline that has attributed the doc to a single googler rather than to Google in general.
