As a user, I think Twitter is better now, notably with the Community Notes feature that even Zuckerberg commended on Lex's podcast - I hope he introduces a similar concept. The option to post extended threads is appreciated. I hardly c

I agree, the prospects for cloud gaming do seem promising. However, we can't forget that in VR, latency is a much more important factor. One solution could be for companies to establish datacenters near high-population areas to guarant

The best gaming headset on the market would have to be able to connect to a Windows PC. The M2 chip in the headset doesn't have the power to run an intensive game at 4K resolution for each eye. Even if the headset could be tethered to

The Quest Pro already has eye tracking and even the Quest 2 has good hand tracking now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io7_NyTmXv0 But yes, they really do need to improve the resolution, It seems that the resolution was ke

I'm guessing that the Vision Pro will actually help Quest sales in the short term, since many people will want the Vision Pro but will settle for the Quest 3, since it'll be 7 times cheaper.

I think Google still has a decent chance of catching up. It's just a bit surprising to see them fall behind in an area they were supposed to be leading, especially since they wrote the paper which started all of this. Also, Anthropic i

If Google only used data that isn't copyrighted, they'd probably make a big deal about it, just like Adobe does with their Firefly model. Also, it's not really possible for OpenAI to just take out certain parts from the model

This line of reasoning implies that Google had models that were equivalent to OpenAI's but chose to keep them behind closed doors. However, upon releasing Bard, it was apparent—and continues to be—that it does not match up to OpenAI&#x

If safety were the only consideration, it's reasonable to expect that they could have released a model comparable to GPT 3.5 within this time frame. This strongly suggests that there may be other factors at play.

I don't understand how Google messed up this bad, they had all the resources and all the talent to make GPT-4. Initially, when the first Bard version was unveiled, I assumed that they were just using a heavily scaled-down model due to

Yeah, but given that the central focus display is 70 PPD on the Varjo, it's probably higher PPD compared to the Vision Pro in that part of the screen. So, I'm curious if that 70 PPD area truly matches up to the clarity of a real m

I'm curious if anyone's tried using the Varjo VR-3 as a monitor replacement? The Vision Pro seems like it might be in the same league. It's got this unique setup where the central focus area (27° x 27°) is a uOLED display wit

The potential use of LLMs as search tools could disrupt the startup ecosystem, especially in niche markets. "Find a service that does this [niche task]" commands could enhance visibility for niche startups. But as LLMs become bett

You conveniently forgot to mention several things that don't fit your narrative. Why are you so eager to place the blame on Tesla fans for unearthing evidence, instead of calling out Cummings for her unsuitability for the role? Are you
