Blake Lemoine is the recently fired Senior Software Engineer at Google who went public this summer with his concerns around Google’s natural language system LAMDA. Blake thinks LAMDA is both sentient and shouldn’t be under the sole supervision of a private corporation. This provoked a deep, philosophical conversation about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, what will happen with AI, whether it’s aligned with human values and whether human reality is simulated.
