Open AI the hare had an exciting sprint and is now a bit winded. Google the tortoise is going to keep plugging along.
LLMs give me flashbacks to the self-driving car race 9 years ago. Uber, Tesla and other flashy companies were drawing a great deal of attention to themselves and burning a lot of investor capital making it appear as though real progress was being made.
Google (rebranded Waymo) ducked the hype, stayed the course, and kept their nose to the grindstone, and now they're the only western company that matters.

- helloplanets 8mo agoChina is not just one company... And Google has been recently putting out more than any one of them AFAIK.
