In this case it is academic research released to the public, which is why anybody knows about it. This is a fairly good thing compared to any alternative I can think of.

I just resigned from Google. There’s no future with current leadership. I was a at high level (6), with an incredibly broad scope of responsibility, making an absurd amount of money. But life is too short to spend my days propping up a dyin

People have no idea how quickly the house of cards can collapse. It’s a very dangerous path to juice profits by paying to be a default. Basically a self-made Ponzi scheme.

I mean I could buy a very expensive Mercedes and drive it straight into the Bay at high speed. That doesn’t make it a good idea.

Key difference is Google pays a FUCKTON of money to be default search provider. The US Department of Justice is going after this. Once Google can’t pay-to-play in Safari and iOS they are in very deep shit. This is the classic thing with mon

The smart move could be an open-core approach. Release the models, but have the best engineering stack to run the APIs as a service.

It’s not fair to compare them to crypto scams, this isn’t trying to juice retail investors for their life savings.

100% agree. You need to catch up to OpenAI for starters and then figure out how to outpace them.

by nr2x 4y ago
Exactly! OpenAI are the only people who are shipping product like absolute maniacs. If I can’t use your fancy system, it doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned. There’s a mountain of theoretical work, I don’t need a press release on top of i

“Hi we’re here to save humanity, and we’re stealing your name! We have a ton of lawyers, buckets of cash from Google to hire more lawyers, and if you don’t like it, you’re fucked. Now please enjoy being saved by us.”

Also, to chase those dollars while being on the leash of Google’s massive investment. So they lost the plot on the altruistic mission within months of setting up shop, and now are just a pawn in a bigger game between other companies.

Two issues though: leak of data from one party to another, and misuse of data by the party you gave it to. Most big companies don’t leak this type of data, but they sure as hell misuse it and have the fines to prove it.

I mean, I’m using ChatGPT to render natural language down to executable SQL for a project right now. It’s not a universal solution, as it’s specific to my data architecture, but if I were to devote a month to it I’m fairly sure I’d make a b

Oh my god, if SQL is the “conversational” option what other design did they consider? Binary?

Why do you think AI startups are coming out of the woodwork? Tons are from Google who wanted to ship and got frustrated. So it is observable imho.

The real issue is FAANG has paid top talent to sit around all day in meetings solely to blunt competitive risk of those people getting any real work done. Too bad for megacorps that the layoffs are just gasoline for a million AI startups be

That’s a theoretical problem, not a reason to buy something at a higher premium. The sales pitch can’t be “sure that TV is the same as ours for double the price, but wait until nexts years model!” Well, better reason to buy the cheap one to
