The story of their departure is complex but was triggered by a paper the pair co-authored with researchers outside Google examining risks associated with the language models Google now presents as key to its future. As the paper and other critiques note, these AI systems are prone to a number of faults, including the generation of abusive and racist language; the encoding of racial and gender bias through speech; and a general inability to sort fact from fiction.
Teams spend months preping these announcements. This is an indicator of its strategic importance to the Co. If the issues we raise were ones they were facing head on, then they deliberately deprived themselves of highly relevant expertise towards that task.
In its blog post on LaMDA, Google highlights a number of these issues and stresses that its work needs more development. For critics of the company, though, the conversation needs to be much more open than this. Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.

And with the always-on display active, the screen on for up to five hours for the usual deluge of email, messages and push notifications, browsing and using apps, five hours of Spotify via Bluetooth headphones and about 20 photos. Turning off the always-on display added about two hours of battery life.
Google does not provide an estimate for the expected number of full charge cycles from the Pixel 4a batteries. The Pixel 4a is generally repairable. The company publishes environmental impact reports for some of its products. Google will recycle all Pixel devices free of charge. Generally speaking, it is attractive and simple, and works like most other versions of Android, with full adoption of the gesture controls, theme support and other additions made to standard Android But on top are a few Google-exclusives, first introduced with the Pixel 4, that revolve around using artificial intelligence run locally on the phone, rather than on a remote Google server as used to be required.
