It is a reactionary move, but Bard existed for months on the intranet, but not as a public offering. So they have the technology but not the product.


Presumably this was the infamous tech that got that one worker fired because he thought it was sentient and wanted to blow the whistle on unethical AI treatment right? This story: https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/23/business/google-ai-engineer-f...

It would be funny if Google hastily rehires him as a marketing evangelist to show people their AI is so good you think it's alive.


While I don't think LaMDA is sentient (merely based on what I understand about its architecture), what would it look like if some mega corp had a conscious AI on its hands, and an insider was trying to blow the whistle?

Wouldn't it look exactly like this?


In one sense, yes, but to me that felt more like a mental illness story than anything else, which would make it much less funny (apologies to the person involved if it was not).
