   Quite the opposite, I suspect one of the reasons FAANGs are successful is the lack of non-compete in CA. Folks can easily hop around, ask for higher wages and take their skills to a new company that directly competes with the old. There&#x2

   This practice is akin to physically and mentally abusing a puppy, let them grow into a fearful and aggressive dog then say: "what an aggressive dog ! they need to be euthanized"

   The evaluations are not comprehensive either. All of them are improving and you can't expect any of them to hit 100% on the metrics (a la. bayes error rate). It gets increasingly difficult to move the metrics as they get better.

   we still don't have agents that can do simple things like: find a funny photo of my dog in my phone and post it as a story on instagram with 100% reliability. I would wait for that to happen first before thinking there can be an autono

    is this "train wreck" the bad image generation regarding people and races or is there anything more? That does not affect my usage and Gemini works fine for me.

    When others create text to video systems (eg. Lumiere from Google) they publish the research (eg. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.12945.pdf ). Open AI is all about commercialization. I don't like their attitude

    So you're arguing you can allocate capital inefficiently and it's not a problem. I disagree. Capital should be allocated fairly so those who are doing the work stay motivated and those who are not doing anything aren't dispro

    rebranding to Gemini was the right move IMHO and should've been done before the Bard branding. What do you want instead? "Google Assistant with Bard on Gemini Ultra 2" ? I'd prefer the "Google Gemini" branding

    The promo process at Google was broken even 10 years ago. The executives including the CEO are also way overpaid. My suggestion: anybody who wants to be a decision maker (executives, CEO, middle management) need to do actual technical work

    I have used both Keras and pytorch Lightning. They have a lot of similarities and I'm fine with both. That said the abstraction does not really cover the input processing part: ie. pytorch dataloader or tf.data part
