This is the loon who got fired by Google for doing a round of media interviews claiming that one of their language models was sentient. Wants to extend his 15 minutes of fame I guess.
I have found recent media coverage of ChatGPT surprisingly refreshing because everyone didn't just jump on the "Skynet is going to take over the world" bandwagon like so many times in the past. Instead people with varying backgrounds and varying amounts of expertise in the area – from Joe Rogan to John Oliver, CNN/PBS journalists, old school print writers and more – all actually did the work to educate themselves on the basic workings of transformers, LLMs, generative AI and tried out the tech themselves, and were able to have great nuanced discussions on the topic. We need more of that going forward and less of...this guy.
