Agree, misleading title. The introduction makes the context clear, but probably too late to not call the article click-bait.

> [...] It originates from a researcher within Google. [...] The document is only the opinion of a Google employee, not the entire firm. [...]

Completely agree. It is interesting, but the gravitas of it seems lower than of course if an executive said this and corroborated it. I do feel that opensource for AI is going to be really interesting and shake things up.

99% of media coverage like “Tech employee/company says <provocative or controversial thing>” are exactly like that.

And (probably) through no fault of their own they'll get totally thrown under the bus for this--whether directly but when raises/promotions come around or not.
