I don't think OpenAI's lead is holding Google back. Companies are held back by their own mentalities, and newer companies have fewer restrictions. As an example, Google supposedly had better text-to-image models than DALL-E/M

Probably because people view the cloud as their data in someone else's hands, but AI companies view data as fair game for ingestion, since "they just learn like humans, and you allow humans to view your data, right?".

Because it's never the same thing. People want the authentic real thing, not lab grown monstrosities created for the masses so they can be "ethical" while millionaires can do whatever they want. You might as well ask why have

I assume you do because you want to confuse people. There's nothing "clean" about artificially grown meat. "Lab-grown" is a neutral term which lets non-vegans know they should avoid it. I'm sick of the intentio

It only appears novel because it mixes so much data. People have always wondered if even people are creating anything new ("nothing new under the sun"), so it's quite silly to say that a model which produces data based on its

But that removes the meaning of "bro". It should be "tech sibling". Of course, "bro" is short for "brother" so maybe the best solution would be "tech sib".

Then you're a good tech bro. But I don't think "libertarians turn authoritarian" implies "all". It's just how people speak. They usually mean "some".
