Google engineer put on leave claims AI bot LaMDA became ‘sentient’

I mean lets ignore the content of the claim - I think most companies have rules that say basically "you don't get to randomly go to a media organization and talk about your job". Again, ignoring any actual content that would be grounds for fairly immediate dismissal.

Looking at the content, I guess you could argue that maybe Google should be putting them on leave to see whether they've started an extended mental health crisis so medical leave could be warranted.

Not sure how you would make such a decision.

Why is this in the nypost, getting clicks out of someone's mental health problems, shame on you!
