Negatives acknowledged, there are huge efficiency upsides to dense human living. Everything becomes smoother, faster, less wasteful. You get a society that leverages economies of scale for everything.

Part of the problem is that the topic is so radioactive, that coming forward with a story of abuse, and the legal/media circus that follows, really puts the abuse center stage in people's view of you. Most people absolutely do not

People who chronically are in trouble with the cops pretty quickly learn the police are working against them. Regular people having a bad moment think they can just explain everything to the police and they'll go "Ah, sorry mate,

The system does not work like that, hah. This is the kind of logic sovereign citizens use..."I'm traveling, not driving, so I don't need a license!" At the end of the day, judges have the ability to clear away silly logi

I can't tell if this comment is satire or not. You're speaking to the generation of pirates. What? Suddenly everyone is hanging up their high seas hat to capture the virtue signals of current sentiment?

3.6 is roughly 50% faster, which isn't totally insignificant for being marginally more expensive.[1] [1]artificialanalysis.ai

Pre-trains take a huge chunk of your compute offline, incurring both an raw expense (24/7 max power for all training clusters) and an opportunity cost (could have sold excess compute during that time). They also don't come with an

It kind of doesn't make sense though, because typically a large org like Google can afford to crush competitors on pricing. They could probably even go toe to toe with chinese model pricing for years without feeling it. Maybe they don&

Google cloud sells compute out from under Deepmind to other labs. So they basically are in competition with Google cloud for compute.

Besides Apple apparently making Siri AI model agnostic, the choice to go with Google was almost certainly for practical reasons. Google is a low-risk established player that already has a long work history with Apple. Google also isn't

I don't know if it's a rendering error since it looks like your site renders the SVG instead of hosting a static image of it, but the 3.6 macbook looks like an abstract art piece lol, both ff and chrome desktop

Google Cloud is probably Google Deepminds biggest competitor. Big company kinda bullshit.

I think it's a safe bet that Google seems more interested in making a model that improves Google rather than making a model that improves workers. Fast, light weight, ok intelligence. Perfect for serving 20B+ prompts per day mostly sur

Especially when Google owns 15% of anthropic and serves them compute. Double especially when your boss (Hassibis) is also an early investor in Anthropic. Hell his NW might be more Anthropic than Google.

The mention of an "ambitious" gemini 4 pre-train signals to me that 3.5 pro is probably a lost cause. That being said, it seems that Gemini is still the best image analysis model, so hopefully 3.6 flash builds on this even more.

If you're not kowtowing the worst possible characterization of someone, then you're wrong. Is Trump a dictator with unilateral control? No. Will you be celebrated for failing to recognize that? Yes.

The American government has propaganda but it really sucks at it. All the people skilled in manipulating behavior work at our ad agencies, and hence our actual propaganda is mostly "Use this detergent! Take this drug! Drive this car!&q

>Agree, China believes in Climate change and are at least taking steps to address it. China brought 80GW of new coal power online last year. The US added 0, and plans to add 3GW next year (we all know why). China doesn't care about

I've been on the internet since the mid 90's, and thankfully grown up since then. People don't want to work for free, and the people who are paid to work produce far better products for far wider audiences. This is just flatl

Instagram makes ~$28/user/mo from ads, which is wild. They couldn't even sell a premium ad-free membership without losing money on those people. (Who the hell would pay $28/mo for instgram?)

But what is the alternative, and why is it better? An Apple-esque internet that gets you a full google-like suite of services, along with news and other general entertainment, all ad/tracking free, but for a cool $300/mo? User fri

..but they are not giving the product for free, they are putting ads on it. You're the one deciding to ignore the money basket because no one stops you from taking the product for free.

It's less a statement about the absolute hatred that Google gets, and more about Google using collected data to target you with ads is the most hated thing about Google (directly or indirectly). Google pretty much figure out how to tak
