OpenAI has made a better product than Google with less time and engineers
Stable Diffusion has made a state of the art software with less time and engineers than OpenAI
Let's stop talking about hypotheticals, the examples are many
- scubbo 3y ago> OpenAI has made a better product than Google with less time and engineers Google has its flaws; but this is manifestly false _even_ if you restrict "Google" to just Search.
- Almondsetat 3y agoIt's true if you restrict google to just Bard
- d-lisp 3y agoI would be curious to know how the team working on Bard is organized.
- ugh123 3y agoIf OpenAI can run its product for billions of queries a day supported by just ad revenue, then i'd believe you. Both are fantastic, but not the same.
- colinmorelli 3y agoBuilding something _different_ faster/cheaper than a competitor is not really the same as rebuilding the same thing with a fraction of the people. In the past when I've seen the claim "I could rebuild this in a weekend" it's literally calling into question why so many engineers were needed to build _that thing_, not something else. More specifically, new entrants (and especially so in new categories) regularly get the luxury of extended time to iron out issues, create a better UX, find all the edge cases, invest in internationalization, distribute to multiple platforms, integrate with other systems, address security issues, and more. These tend to be exactly the kind of things that make recreating the incumbent products hard. If OpenAI continues on its current trajectory, it can easily end up with a team equal to or larger in size than all of Google working on search.
- summerlight 3y ago> OpenAI has made a better product than Google with less time and engineers Based on the theoretical foundation from Google, the framework built by Facebook, hardware produced by NVIDIA and cloud infrastructure run by Microsoft? This doesn't make a great example.
- bennyelv 3y agoDoesn’t that apply for every software product? Google didn’t start out by designing their own hardware, building their own datacentres, and implementing their own frameworks did they? Those things come later for optimisation.
- ilrwbwrkhv 3y agoAlso Elon showed with twitter that the company was indeed big and so many people were not required.
- Qwertious 3y agoIs this sarcasm? Twitter has been less stable and has been making more dumb choices since Elon took over, and they've lost at least half of their revenue so far. They've lost literal billions.
- junofan 3y agoI don’t think that’s fair. Twitter was already operating at a loss and wasn’t going to win at performance advertising. A change in business strategy to something like payments seems reasonable for the long term.
- ActorNightly 3y agoLets call it what it is without any bias. Twitter lost advertising because its a bad outlook, not because of technical issues. Twitter still works. Sure, it has issues, but still works. It definitely was a bloated company, and if Elon could keep his autism under reigns, he could have came out with reducing the company, keeping the same advertising income, and being more cash positive.
- wolverine876 3y ago> if Elon could keep his autism under reigns, he could have came out with reducing the company, keeping the same advertising income, and being more cash positive That's all your imagination - we can make and support any claim that way. The actual facts we have point the other way. Let's stop making Musk look like a victim. Nobody blames autism when Tesla's sales increase.
- ActorNightly 3y agoDon't let your hate boner for Musk replace your brain. Nothing in your post addresses what I said. I never mentioned Musk is a victim.
