They ran out of ideas. That’s about what it comes down to. Google is still just an ads company at the end of the day. (Yes Cloud has had net positive quarters but it is still net negative relative to how much SERP dollars it took to prop it

It’s impossible to read a book you don’t have access to. That’s the entire point, there was a multigenerational intentional program of making sure one race couldn’t read. The effects of it persist. I think you aren’t engaging with this logi

The first time some people will see or touch a book is when they get to elementary school. Those people are set up to fail in life, and anybody growing up from birth in an environment with no books is disadvantaged. For generations it was l

It’s uncensored to start with, so I’m not sure prompt injection is even an applicable concept. By default it always does as asked. It’s also why it is so good, I have some document summarization tasks that includes porn sites and other LLM

SoundCloud was specifically good to find artists who didn’t exist on physical yet. That’s kinda the whole point of it, or was supposed to be before they lost their way.

Literally same tasks, same teams. One person has a Googley badge one has a red badge. One gets various Googley perks, one doesn’t. One is treated with the four respects; one isn’t.

No, that’s wrong, TVC do the same work on the same teams as “real” employees.

I literally had to take a training that said even if a “TVC” was a core contributor to a launch and the team got t-shirts, it was not allowed to give a shirt to the TVC. You can’t give a TVC a pencil without it being counted as “compensatio

They gutted the key FOSS teams during the layoffs, the c-suite hates real FOSS, it doesn’t look good on Ruth’s spreadsheet. Of course, pretend FOSS like Android they strategically tolerate, but beyond that unless it results in an ad click i

It’s amazing how dogshit llama2 7b is in comparison with 13b (let alone 70b). The only 7b foundation model that is worthwhile is mistral imho.

Exactly, and the culture premium of Google has evaporated so they can only compete on comp alone. I quit and don’t regret it at all, everybody I talk to there basically just says they have zero inspiration and shuttle between pointless meet

Exactly my point, he and Ruth optimize for short term market gains and have literally no vision for the future of the company short of killing adblockers. Kodak was also doing great, until suddenly they weren’t. My own personal experience o

Hey now, Stanford also produced a lot of corporate fraud, they deserve credit across the board for their contribution!

Maybe he should have stuck with that rather than running a sprawling corporate behemoth into the ground with purely short-term, market-based, decision making and the world wouldn’t be laughing hysterically at the abomination that is Bard.

Sundar lets the SVPs report directly to Ruth while he looks in the mirror at repeats “AI is the new fire” until he’s ready for the next soft focus interview.
