Revelations 13:14 “…by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth…”

Important Takeaways:

• Fired Google Engineer Doubles Down on Claim That AI Has Gained Sentience
• Blake Lemoine — the fired Google engineer who last year went to the press with claims that Google’s Large Language Model (LLM), the Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA), is actually sentient…
• According to Webster’s Dictionary Sentient means responsive to or conscious of sense impressions
• He’s contending that a machine’s ability to break from its training as a result of some kind of stressor is reason enough to conclude that the machine has achieved some level of sentience. A machine saying that it’s stressed out is one thing — but acting stressed, he says, is another.
• …Lemoine on another point. Regardless of sentience, AI is getting both advanced and unpredictable — sure, they’re exciting and impressive, but also quite dangerous.
• “I believe the kinds of AI that are currently being developed are the most powerful technology that has been invented since the atomic bomb,” “In my view, this technology has the ability to reshape the world.”
• “I can’t tell you specifically what harms will happen,”… when a culture-changing piece of technology is put into the world before the potential consequences of that technology can be fully understood.
• “I can simply observe that there’s a very powerful technology that I believe has not been sufficiently tested and is not sufficiently well understood, being deployed at a large scale, in a critical role of information dissemination.”
