Why would Google announce a software release, without releasing it? There are many answers to that question, but "because it works as advertised" is not one of them.
I didn't even bother reading their announcement once I saw an HN comment pointing out that nobody can use the thing yet.
It's an LLM. If it works like they say, let me talk to it and see for myself. Otherwise, it's pretty obvious why they don't want me to do that...
- asd88 3y agoFlashy product announcements without an immediate release are part of the “big company game”. Usually they are just a mechanism to make leadership more confident about the product by showing them how excited external people are about it, creating hype, etc.
