Introducing Google AI
- godelmachine 9y agoHi everyone, Do they have a newsletter or something? I would like to be notified everytime they published a new research. Thanks.
- cbcoutinho 9y agoI have a Feedly link to their research (now a.i.) blog, and if you have a premium subscription to Feedly you can incorporate IFTTT to do something (e.g. send you an email) whenever a new post is available. I'm sure it's possible to get this working yourself though without a thirdparty platform
- JoshMnem 9y agoYou can paste this URL into any RSS/Atom reader to receive notifications of new posts: http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/gJZg http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/gJZg If you right-click on most blogs and choose "view page source", there is usually an RSS or Atom link somewhere in the <head> section, even if the icon doesn't appear on the page itself.
- hawktheslayer 9y agoI don't know about anyone else, but their animated logo in the middle of the page is incredibly distracting to me.
- Areading314 9y agoThere's not much else of note here
- dmead 9y agoThe true state of the art: lots of marketing and nothing really useful.
- laxatives 9y agoGoogle's AI Research challenges are so technically advanced, they can only be adequately described by their leading marketing experts.
- JoshMnem 9y agoIt isn't just you. Animation is destroying the Internet.
- etaty 9y agohave we reached the peak yet? I am sure there is still some research who don't use AI.
- ringshall 9y agoI don't see it as a question of whether the research uses AI, but rather what the subject of the research is. Putting all research under the 'AI' banner because it happens to use that technique in some of its data processing seems like a miscategorization.
- grogenaut 9y agoIf only we could build some type of automated system that teaches itself to correctly categorize for the over use of the term AI in data processing then we'd truly be on easy street.
- Eridrus 9y agoYeah, I am really confused at who this name is aimed at, investors?
- 2RTZZSro 9y agoAnybody willing to part ways with their money
- yodon 9y agoCan anyone compare this to the AI announcements Microsoft made yesterday?
- godelmachine 9y agoMay I ask which link I need to see for the Microsoft AI announcements?
- gaius 9y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17016333 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17016333
- yodon 9y agoThey actually had a couple yesterday, including https://finance.yahoo.com/news/microsoft-launches-project-brainwave-deep-153014579.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/microsoft-launches-project-br...
- _wmd 9y agoAn explicitly content-free marketing announcement relating to a contemporary industry buzzword. I know it's worth paying attention to the big fish, but this is literally a zero content 100% time wasting post. Flagged it because IMHO it's pure spam
- chrisco255 9y agoSo what was formerly called "Google Research" is now confusingly called "Google AI"? Which, mostly covers AI material but occasionally ventures into other fields, like quantum computing? That's what I gathered.
- thomzi12 9y agoWhat was the point of the rebranding?
- nemild 9y agoA tweet from Princeton's Professor Arvind Narayanan on this announcement: First Microsoft, now Google. Sends a message to researchers choosing between academia and industry that your work will be valued in the industry only if it's buzzword compliant. https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/993850870067548160 https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/993850870067548160
- RhysU 9y agoBuzzwords matter in the academy, too.
- mlazos 9y agoYeah when I started working at a big tech company I had the illusion that everyone knew what they were talking about and would have a nuanced opinion about hype/buzzwords of the time. (They must! They're technical people) I quickly learned that not only are they just as susceptible to hype as the average person but that they actively perpetuate it!
