Do you remember that Google researcher who went insane over LaMDA? There was no marketing of any kind to cause that. This can Just Happen to some people who are confronted with things like this. They may have different breaking points, but it's a thing that occasionally happens.

The craziest part was that Google was pretty far behind other LLMs in development. Even the initial release of Gemini was one of the worst foundation models ever open to the public. I can't imagine how anyone could have communicated to it and thought it was sentient.

That was Blake Lemoine. For the record: he doesn't appear to have been ruled insane by anyone, and he wasn't even fired over that part exactly!

		I mostly meant insane as in excessively fanatic about something specific and eccentric, instead of generally clinically insane.

whistleblowing as an advertisement. It's like those "news articles" about how cool and dangerous gas station ketamine is, and how it's totally going to get banned, and you better not buy any gas station k because it's so cool and powerful.
