I’ve got receipts from HBO, Amazon, Disney, Netflix, Curiosity Stream, and YouTube Premium that prove that wrong.

Yes, that’s absolutely the primary driver, but the #2 reason for adoption is privacy and security concerns. Google still doesn’t understand this, hence the farce that is “Privacy Sandbox” which is utterly delusional.

Give us a break, nobody has done more to ruin journalism that Google manipulating ad auctions (bernake), rewarding click bait (doubleclick), and forcing small papers serving local markets to compete for search placement with massive compani

Spot on analysis. Only thing you forgot is Macrons powers of persuasion will surely just convince the USA and China to give France equal footing. Pretty sure after he single handedly ends the Ukraine war he’ll get right on it.

“Being addressed”…yes, by a raft of laws around the world that are making it flat out illegal.

The EU is so laughably ineffective and slow that I have no doubt OpenAi could do another 50 gpt-4 sized training runs with PII-pruned data before anything gets to court. You already are seeing the likes of Adobe using legally-sourced image

Well, the FTC has already made companies delete models which relied on deceptive trade practices to acquire data. So if they offer the setting and then ignore it, they could literally be forced to delete their model. Overall if you trust th

It seems they are refining 4 more than planning a 5 based on different interviews. I’m not sure if it matters though, could just be a branding issue more than anything.

I don’t think people appreciate what a sea change it is to have a major new technology launch with a subscription model and no ads. Google hasn’t figured out how to make money outside of ads which is what’s been keeping them running in circ

Huh? We did have a monopoly (Google using this technology internally) and OpenAI broke it wide open, that’s the entire point.

Yeah, that’s one of my favorite hidden features of GPT-4, if it gives me a function that doesn’t really fit my coding style I’ll tell it how I’d like it and it will adjust.

Innovators dilemma is the issue: that’s rational, until suddenly it isn’t, but by then it’s too late to change course.

Serious wisdom in there.

I’m not in favor of it, but most of the global market is too poor to matter. One of the things I do respect Google for is providing services to poor people, but that doesn’t mean it’s a business advantage. If you offered me control of the e

I use GPT about 100x more than search now for my day to day work. I pay them $20/mo. I’d likely pay $100 or more for the value I’m getting. They’ll figure it out.

* dominate the low-end of the market. Apple has the platform where users have money to spend on apps and services.

The deeper problem is the money people who lead Google have no imagination whatsoever and literally can’t figure out how to make money in anything that isn’t mining user data for ads. Cloud is a money pit, and will NEVER be #1 in the space.

It’s not pedantry, people keep saying “google” “invented” this stuff and a) no, they paid the people who did, and b) those people are no longer there. “Google” is the wrong model of abstraction to deal with as with the founders long gone th

so sick of this line of corporate worship. "Google" didn't invent anything, the employees did, and the top talent are leaving. Ilya Sutskever was a very key person at Google before he left to start OpenAI, and at most one p

Good managers insulate reports from the politics, if you weren’t plugged into it it’s either your manager did a good job or it’s the only part of Google that isn’t 90% politics. Signed, “didn’t work at brain or dm but was involved in a lot

you'd be shocked how rarely the word "users" is heard at google. literally asking the question in a meeting "is this what users want?" will get you blank stares.

DDG is just a wrapper on Bing, and now that Bing won't let them sprinkle their own AI on top they're also screwed.
