NLP researcher Yoav Goldberg joins the 'models going rogue' debate: he accepts that models don't go rogue — they do what they were trained to do — while noting complex-system dynamics are hard to predict and behaviors emerge. He calls the 'civilizations' framing moronic and the fears overhyped, but argues that implying the entire incident didn't happen goes too far.
