For all the halballoo about AI safety and laws, Google released it knowing very well about the hallucination. Also it’s so prominent that you can’t even turn it off. How is Google making money on this? It takes so much space, the ads are pu

Would love to read more about it, anyone got link to the court case? Really thinking of doing a startup in scraping websites and turning it into filterable/sortable tables that can be queried via sql.

The issue is Sam even asking SJ. And then sending her another ask before the release. If they just released, people would be like hey it’s like “Her”. Sky doesn’t sound like SJ. It’s a different voice. Sam didn’t have to tweet “her”. The pr

In any economy you need consumers and producers. US economy has been trending towards fewer owners owning means of production. Which makes sense, any business marginally better than their completion keeps on growing, the delta between 1st a

For all the the debacles OpenAI is going through, it's quite interesting how other models are going through without much hullaballoo. Snowflake's Arctic comes to mind. Great model - it will answer any dark question I through at it

Sky sounded quite different to SJ. Them taking the voice off means they are accepting guilt it seems.

This is great. Analytics space has many players in all shapes and sizes. Mixpanel, Amplitude, Google analytics, simpleanalytics, Posthog, usefathom, plausible. If you include UI tracking then pendo.io, Fullstory, LogRocket. Many of them VC

Google's PMs are doing a new experiment. How much crap can they add to the search homepage without an ounce lost in their stock price? Google has enough momentum that they could turn it into an ads only search engine and their revenue

pinch and zoom is an excellent navigation mode to quickly scan an overview and zoom into what you care about. I wish more mobile interfaces make good use of that. Instead we have a various versions of drilldowns and poorly implemented searc

Well, we vote for representatives, not for the policies. And there isn't much choice in representatives. Wish we had more choice than Trump or Biden but here we are again after 4 years. There is little churn in Senate as well. Supreme

Ad payers are people too. Even if a user not directly paying, they are indirectly paying by clicking on ads and buying from the advertiser. In which case the cost of advertising is baked in. Meta made $130B in revenue. Thats a ton of ad pay

Almost 50% of the cost of flying is fuel. Then there's a bunch of fees on every airport the plane lands as well as costs for parking in that airport. Airlines run on thin margins and junk fees. Cost per craft mile comes down if we dras

Progress requires a generational shift. At-least in US we are looking at average age of presidential candidates 79y, senate 65y, house 60. 50% of wealth is owned by Boomers. They control majority of wealth and policy. Even the current gener

Companies make profits because people spend their money on what those companies have to offer. Facebook offers a dopamine hit. And so does X and TikTok. To some extent also HN. The infinite scroll slot machine. At the end of the day, we are

YouTube made $30B in revenue last year. 10% of Alphabet’s revenue. Google services margin is around 30%. Even if YT is burning money they are likely making $5B in profit. They don’t report profit by income streams. Google was one of the fir

Russia is playing the game of “I have nukes, so I’m gonna do whatever I want. I got tons of oil and customers flush with money. Smuggle rings to get whatever parts I need.” Ukraine is likely to lose. They’ve figured out precision destructio

US culture is very much driven by competition. If China is winning wars, has more influence on world, has better tech, better infra, higher GDP, higher GDP per capita. Americans will get their shit together to compete. The problem with US i

If you have $0 in bank, close shop and start fresh without co-founder. 100% of $0 is $0. Unless you have quite a bit of IP in your company.

Not sure why you're downvoted. Been to Dubai multiple times. They're investing heavy in tech and infrastructure. Americans have their own version of what is right but that doesn't mean it's right for everyone. Competitio

Will wait for Meta to release Flash equivalent weights. Multi-Modal modals running offline on mobile devices with millisecond latencies per token seems the future. Where is Apple in all of this. Why is Siri still so shit?

Unitree is really on fire. I love how fast they are dropping prices. Sub $10k and if robot is useful/general, they’ll be doing millions of units. 1B+ humanoids by 2040 has a decent chance of happening.

Let OAI actually be released to the masses. Then we can compare. I’m not a big fan of announcing something but it not being released. They say available for api but it’s text only. Can’t send audio stream to get audio stream back. Time will

> Play with it! It’s not accessible to everyone yet. Even on api, I can’t send it voice stream yet. Api refuses to generate images. Next few weeks will tell as more people play with it.
