It is not worthless. But you have to evaluate the argument on its own, not act as if it from some authority on the topic because it is from some googler.

This 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.

yes, I do.

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.

Google has thousands of so called AI/ML "researchers".

The author has ZERO publications in top AI/ML conferences.

I am amazed that people haven't gotten used to these "internal Google doc leaks".

This is just the opinion of some random googler, one among over 100,000.

For some reason random googlers seem like to write random docs on hot topics and share it widely across the company. And someone, among those over 100,000 googlers, ends up "leaking" the opinion of that person to outside Google.

This is more like a blog post of some random dude over the Internet expressing his opinion. The fact that random dude ended up working at Google should not bear much on evaluating the claims in the doc.

A website published that with a title "Google ..." is misleading. The accurate title would be "Some random googler: ..."
