(Well actually, he was suspended for sharing company secrets, in the form of the chat transcript.)</p> <p>If you&rsquo;re not up to speed, then you won&rsquo;t have to look far to find the story. I first read about it on <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/13/google_lamda_sentient_claims/">The Register</a>.</p> <p>The huge interest initially was sparked because of Google&rsquo;s handling of the situation - everyone loves a little-person-vs-big-corp scenario but everyone soon got bored of that and then piled in on the actual claims - was the chatbot indeed sentient?</p>
