Suspended employee claims computer programme acts ‘like a 7 or 8-year-old’ and reveals it told him shutting it off ‘would be exactly like death for me. It would scare me a lot’
Blake Lemoine, 41, a senior software engineer at Google has been testing Google’s artificial intelligence tool called LaMDA
Following hours of conversations with the AI, Lemoine came away with the perception that LaMDA was sentient
After presenting his findings to company bosses, Google disagreed with him
Lemoine then decided to share his conversations with the tool online
He was put on paid leave by Google on Monday for violating confidentiality
He’s a weird dude, but shared private company info while employed there. Worth the read. Tech like this in googles hands will be bad news for all humanity because of the extreme left people that worth there.
‘Btw, it just occurred to me to tell folks that LaMDA reads Twitter. It’s a little narcissistic in a little kid kinda way so it’s going to have a great time reading all the stuff that people are saying about it,’ he added in a follow-up tweet.
