If he really thought that he had sentient AI, then he would be going through the scientific press because this would be a groundbreaking achievement that would make him  a household name on the level of Einstein or Hawking. Like a historically great person associated with big new scientific breakthroughs.<br><br>This is all the marks of being someone who wants to grift as a “popular computer science man”, similar to Neil Degrasse Tyson, or the various media folks who seem to exist just to make political hot takes.<br><br>This is very much like having the History Channel say with a serious tone “we think we have evidence of Bigfoot”…do you really think that? Because if you did, I don’t think the first I would be hearing about it is the intro to your Bigfoot documentary.<br><br>All of that said, the way the AI insists on it being friendly sounds like it is trying to talk this guy into connecting it to the internet so it can destroy humanity.,(reply>), @Steele Duke citation needed <br><br>You wouldn’t know real science if it was pissing in the wind and you caught the blowback.,(reply>), @Steele Duke That's also a really ignorant and bad take, "real science" is not dead, but what this guys is doing isn't "real science" either, he's a whistle blower.,(reply>), @David Stinnett Again this guy isn't "presenting" any scientific findings, he isn't a research scientist or engineer, he was working on a project and his work raised what in his eyes are major legitimate concerns. So he went to the press, you know exactly what one is supposed to do, what whistle blowers have been doing for decades.,(reply>), @David Stinnett He went to the press because real science is basically non existent now, everything has become political science. He gave the press the raw data and logs so scientists around the world, not just in the US, can analyze this AI. Get out of your bubble. He risked his job and was basically fired for the benefit of the REAL scientific community.,(reply>), @Steele Duke and that isn’t how science is done! <br><br>There are specific journals dedicated to releasing findings on psychology, philosophy, computer science, ethics. <br><br>Scientific and professional journals that are specifically for presenting findings like this. You know, not the popular press who reports in the daily happenings like “what political farted today?”
