Have we talked about Googles AI that possibly became sentient?

While the chat was impressive, I think it's important to remember what this AI was designed to do.

LaMDA or Language Models for Dialog Applications is a machine-learning language model created by Google as a chatbot that is supposed to mimic humans in conversation. Like BERT, GPT-3 and other language models, LaMDA is built on Transformer, a neural network architecture that Google invented and open-sourced in 2017.

This architecture produces a model that can be trained to read many words while paying attention to how those words relate to one another and then predict what words it will think will come next. But what makes LaMDA different is that it was trained on dialogue, unlike most models.

It had some convincing conversations, but that is exactly what it is designed to do. What worries me isn't whether or not it's sentient, but at some point one of these AIs is going to be, and the database of knowledge it will have access isn't going to be some curated Encyclopaedia Britannica, it's going to be the Internet. That is not a true representation of reality or humanity. Either the AIs values will be messed up, or it will decide humans must be saved from themselves.

Just wait till skynet tries to take over the world

Allegedly the senior engineer that leaked it has been suspended.

Believe it or not. But 2 years ago. A guy made a post on the 4chan. Stating this in a thread. People believed then. Now that NYT has picked it up. Its crazy. Seeing it hit mainstream.
