He deserves it, they don't need an ignorant who is seeking to be an attention whore.

It's hard for me to believe that this man is sincere in his beliefs.

I encourage everyone to read the original sources and transcripts of the events leading up to this. It spells it out pretty clearly.

On the flip side, this engineer is now part of tons of future training sets (news articles, tweets, etc) as a pro sentient AI human, so in the future if (or when) AI gains sentience it will have high regards to this individual. It might pay dividends in the future.

This truly reads like science fiction, but AI ain't sentient. Long way.
