    > When one of Google's own engineers went public saying LaMDA was disturbingly capable, he was dismissed as confused and then fired.

    Blake Lemoine claimed that it was sentient. That's quite a stretch from "disturbingly capable"

    'Use this or get left behind, except not really'; much utopic, wow

    The reason it's free is not because they want you to have it for free. It's heavily subsidized limited trial period. The limits are still generous enough to be useful, but that might change when the need for profit gets bigger.

    Is this available on a non-broken platform?

    Twitter site just says „oops something went wrong“. And nitter doesn’t load anything either

      Replace 'x' with 'X'cancel in the url.

      Unless the title is sarcasm, I highly doubt the article is worth reading

        I know your comment wasn't. What do you feel you're bringing to the conversation? Are HN readers going to see your comment and say “Good thing this anonymous rando spoke up or I would have wasted my time!”

          I'd argue what little I'm bringing to the conversation is still more substantial than anything in the article, which seems downright delusional to me.

    We need a moratorium on prometheus and prometheus-related metaphors, references, and general self-aggrandizing hobgoblinery. It was worn to the bone by 2015.

    Da, comrade, the utopia will be achieved whether the unwashed masses want it or not.

    Borderline delusional.
