Google, Facebook and others spent billions buying the best ML people and giving them the best, and got scooped badly by OpenAI. And I know it's a cliche but lots of better engineered "iphone/ipod" products existed that got destroyed by apple. Unless they can invest in the man himself - a Jobs or Altman, I don't think investing in a good team is an automatic road to victory.

- Auracle 3y agoYeah. iPod I might agree with, though the interface on the device itself was pretty top tier. iPhone? Nah.

- littlestymaar 3y agoI don't think you can even remotely compare Jobs and Altman here, especially given how badly he missmanaged the enormous advance OpenAI had with Dall-E. In fact, he was lucky to have midjourney and stable diffusion kicking his ass on image generation and pushing him to actually release a product, otherwise Anthropic and Llama could have done the same on the LLM side.
- WanderPanda 3y agoYou forget that OpenAI wasn‘t supposed to have products in the first place
- plonk 3y ago> better engineered "iphone/ipod" products existed that got destroyed by apple Do you mean Nokia's phones?
- madrox 3y agoNothing can destroy Nokia phones
- evbogue 3y agoIt's true. I had a Nokia phone in 2003 that survived being thrown in the washer and the dryer before I noticed it was missing.
- frumper 3y agoNo one wants a dirty phone.
