Why on earth is there no link to whatever this "bard" actually is on that page - I need an on-ramp/slip road? There is a link to "Learn More" which is also ... eventually a link wonders off somewhere ... nope some wankery about Lamda thingie. [random futile clicking] It's the basics kids. No matter how far up your arse you are about your funky technology, do enable people to find the bloody thing easily, from all related pages. If you are a little rusty on spelunking then have a look at WAIS and Gopher (int al) for how to do it properly. Obviously I can find it because I'm a fucking IT consultant. Why not make it easy for everyone?

Oh ... join "waitlist". Nope, stuff to do.

    Waitlists are magic at destroying any chance of word-of-mouth helping spread a product. “Hey Bob, try out this new Bard thing!” “I can’t, there’s a wait list.” “Never mind then, you can just use ChatGPT instead.” PS: it doesn’t fill me with confidence that Azure enabled OpenAI to scale to 10M users in record time, but a GCP can’t even scrape together enough compute to avoid a wait list on something comparable to LLMs hobbyists now run on their phones.

      what is the monetization idea for each? my guess is google doesn't need the data as much as a new competitor would. they are in the growth phase.

        It appears that a large part of OpenAI's success is the large volume of human feedback reinforcement learning that they've used to tune their models. The more feedback they get, the better the model becomes. It's a bit like Tesla having an advantage developing self-driving AI models by having hundreds of thousands of their cars on the road ("the fleet") gather data about rare events for training the model.

      That was a brutal “PS”, lol.

    I got my waitlist acceptance today. I requested it late last week.
