In less than a few hours Gemini 1.5 is old news. Sam is doing live demos on Twitter while Google just released a blog.
Didn't think Google would be the first of the Facebook, Apple, Google and Microsoft to get disrupted.
- minimaxir 3y agoThere's not really too much to talk about Gemini 1.5 as it's an iteration and there's not much to test around the new context length. The Sora demos are more interesting.
- Alifatisk 3y agoI disagree, Gemini 1.5 is still impressive (if true) with the 10 million context size!
- umeshunni 3y agoIt'll be impressive when I can use it.
- alooPotato 3y agoyou can't use sora either
- joshua11 3y agoAt least you can see the demos. Google released a blog post and was like, keep waiting
- joshua11 3y agoWelp, I can't upvote. But this ^^^
- JoshGlazebrook 3y agoThis is my only gripe with these announcements. When will us plebs paying $20/month for chatgpt get to use it?
- system2 3y agoYet rate blocked every few hours with it too.
- vitorgrs 3y agoThe context size is 1 million... They said "they tested up to 10".
- matsemann 3y agoDid they have this ready to go to upstage whatever Google would release? Or just coincidental both things announced today?
- Palmik 3y agoIt's just as likely that Google knew OpenAI has their announcement planned for today and wanted to preempt it. Happens all the time.
- thepasswordis 3y agoThe fact that SamA just seems to go off the cuff on twitter pretty frequently is such a breath of fresh air.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 3y agoHes a real CEO, Sundar is just a political appointment
- Xenoamorphous 3y agoAs someone who just skims Hacker News and little else and no skin in the game, I always get the impression that Pichai is the weakest of the big tech CEOs, compared to Satya, Cook, etc. Is my impression correct? Or it’s just that the anti-Google sentiment is strong in HN?
- ldjkfkdsjnv 3y agoNo hes bad. Very good politician at Google, did some interesting moves with Chrome a long time back. Not a visionary, and they are afraid of ai overtaking google
- huytersd 3y agoSundar is a profitability machine. Google is also an order of magnitude larger than OpenAI. I don’t want all my orders drunk tweeting their thoughts to me. Apple doesn’t say shit but look at what they have achieved.
- superhumanuser 3y agoApple hits home runs though. Google, correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't had a strong hit for a while!
- huytersd 3y agoIt depends. Microsoft is the most valuable company in the world and they don’t have any recent “hits”. They just keep doing their core business well just like Google does. That being said, all the research for all of this AI renaissance has come directly out of Google.
- overstay8930 3y agoI'm pretty sure everyone saw Google as a directionless pile of money, there's a reason killedbygoogle exists.
- karmasimida 3y agoI mean, why would this make google look bad? Gemini is catching up, so OpenAI needs a new venue to market itself to the investors. It is doing a soft pivoting if you ask me, now GPT4 is like not that special anymore.
- Oras 3y agoThat’s the point I guess. They are just catching up, not really making leaps.
- karmasimida 3y agoFair On the other hand, Video to google is much less relevant than text. But if OpenAI figuring out something from it to AGI, that would be a different story.
- cma 3y agoYoutube? Someone's going to make a tiktok like quick-feedback thing of purely generated stuff that learns what you like and tailors the generations to you, and, despite Google owning Youtube, OpenAI looks far closer to it than them.
- karmasimida 3y agoYoutube is a video hosting platform, its advantage is in video delivery and ads. Why would a video generation software disrupts business? Creating realistic video isn't hard even today, you can just do it on your phone and creating hours, hours of cat/dog videos. The hard part is to find a story to make it interesting. It could be possible in the future, like automatic film making, from script to realization, but that doesn't make YouTube's business go away either.
- digging 3y ago> Why would a video generation software disrupts business? If those videos aren't hosted on YouTube.
- VeejayRampay 3y agoit's not old news and it's actually way more impressive it's just that people want to root for OpenAI more because hype
- bamboozled 3y agoThis is a really silly take isn't it?
- huytersd 3y agoGargantuan achievements in two different spaces. 10 million tokens means insane things. Things like feeding the entire codebase of a massive site and saying make a copy of this with these changes.
