Fair. ChatGPT is definitely the most serious event in Google's long and utterly dominant history of web search. Samsung is definitely using ChatGPT as a negotiating tactic with Google. I assume that ad revenue share is part of the arrangement. There's no way that Bing Ads could match the amount that Google Ads pays out to Samsung. This whole space is moving excitingly fast, but it's still too early to claim that anyone has "won" the space. If I had to bet who had the most advanced and most used AI service 5 years from now, I would definitely bet on Google.
Famine kind of sucks too.
Yes, it has absolutely nothing to do with the exact ideology and everything to do with a narrowing of what is publicly acceptable. For an example, compare any hollywood comedy from 10 years ago to one from today. So it's neo-victorian in the sense that we have become quite prudish about what we allow in public, but nothing to do with exactly what we allow, which of course, would have made the actual Victorians blush.
Heh. Reminds me of that scene from the Tintin comic where the test moon rocket gets hacked by the bad guys and the good guys go "Holy crap, good thing we secretly installed a remote detonator in there!".

Right, and shareholders are asking Sundar "Why is OpenAI launching our product and taking our (massive) commercial success?"

Honestly I think Sundar should be let go over this, he should have been let go years ago, but now I definitely don't see what leadership sees in him. The dude is a better fit for running General Mills than a tech company. No innovation, just sell the same thing over and over.

This is true -- there is a lot of small number statistics in estimating the reliability of launch vehicles. And there are a lot of small risks you never see until you accumulate a lot of lunches. But that question is completely incidental to the design methodology.

A new vehicle will always be unproven. But one that's flown 5 times in testing (4 of them unsuccessfully) before its first flight will have had more flight time on most of its systems than something like the SLS where you take 10 years to think about what could go wrong and then do one test launch and call it good.
Its this kind of gray area where dont appear to be doing anything intentional to stop it either.

> Yes the team which literally created transformer and almost all the important open research including Bert, T5, imagen, RLHF, ViT don’t have the ability to execute on AI /s.

This, but non-sarcastically. Google has spectacularly, so far, failed to execute on products (even of the “selling shovels” kind, much less end-user products) for generative AI, despite both having lots of consumer products to which it is naturally adaptable and a lot of the fundamental research work in generative AI.

The best explanation is that they actually are, institutionally and structurally, bad at execution in this domain, because they have all the pieces and incentives that rule out most of the other potential explanations for that.

> OpenAI bought into the field. They are good at execution but i havent seen anything novel coming out of them.

Right, OpenAI is good at execution (at least, when it comes to selling-shovels tools, I don’t see a lot of evidence beyond that yet), whereas Google is, to all current evidence, not good at execution in this space.
It's fine to criticize the Chinese government for not being democratic or for restricting freedom of speech, but it's not genocidal, and over the last several decades, it's been far less murderous and aggressive than the US government. China hasn't even fought a war in over 40 years. No amount of invocations of "whataboutism" will erase the fact that the US killed hundreds of thousands of people in an illegal war in Iraq, while China has basically kept to itself for decades.
Show HN: An AI Art Focused Feed and Newsletter
A lot of folks, including myself, have had their heads spinning at the speed of progress AI has been making over the past year. The goal of this project is to provide a human curated (possibly AI assisted, we’ll see) list of the most important and impactful updates that may be relevant to artists working in this space. This list of updates will be updated daily and the newsletter will go out weekly. This newsletter will be free, forever.

I am currently tracking the major players in this space, that is, Stability AI, DALL-E, and Midjourney, but also related advancements by Facebook, Google, Amazon, or any other company that might make relevant contributions.

I would also LOVE to track relevant blogs that are diving deep into tutorials or advanced techniques. If you know any, please comment with some recommendations. I would love to add them to my list.

Thanks for checking this out! Open to hearing any feedback or suggestions as well. And if you choose to subscribe, thank you!!
From my understanding, that wasn't necessarily a bad prediction at the time. Ada was one of the most advanced languages at the time and was built for a lot of things that wouldn't become standard in other languages for decades later in some cases. From that perspective even in hindsight it was very much "the future".

It was built for the US Department of Defense and it is easy to believe that something with US government backing might have massive staying power, even if only just for (sometimes lucrative) defense contracts.

The biggest problem with Ada at the time was how expensive it was to purchase compilers, which is obviously par for the course for something built for defense contracts on a defense budget but would have been a lot harder to swallow for general software companies. Even then there was room to imagine that competitor compilers might be built (especially if you think you've got a chipset designed to make that in theory easy to do by moving many of the language intrinsics/underlying virtual machine directly into hardware as a physical machine).
Professionally, I cannot confirm or deny.
If you're correctly using the word facts, then they cannot be wrong. Such is the nature of a fact. If you're saying that the opinions pieces conclusion is stating a fact that there was a Russian collusion with the Trump campaign based upon the various investigative reports then I would submit that you have not read the supporting information.

Indeed of Russia has interfered in a great many elections in an attempt to influence their outcome. This was true and 2016 as it's been true for as long as Russia has been a thing and before that the USSR. This is only news to someone who is willfully ignorant of international politics and I also ask you what do you think the CIA does on a day-to-day basis?

The reports have continually found that there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Reading from the reports you can see they considered a troubling amount of connection between the two but that is the benefit of 5+ years of investigation a hindsight. The reports do not anywhere point out collusion which is an active working together of both parties. It only points out that there was external influence.

People who don't like Trump attempted to invent collusion where it didn't exist. This is no different than people who did not like Hillary Clinton who wanted to invent reasons to lock her up over an email server. Both sides showed an extreme ignorance where the facts are involved. Hence why Hillary was not charged with that crime and Trump was never charged with collusion.
That’s even more embarrassing for Google. They couldn’t make a product out of their initial innovations.
I think it's more about being against the principle of piping potentially sensitive data to any third party.

True, OpenAI doesn't have any real motivation to randomly pluck your data and decide to do something horrible to you with it... but they could. More importantly, circumstances can and will change as time goes on. If your logs change hands as part of a buyout or cyberattack, you'll have no recourse.
Right! Thanks, this is the bit I missed.

Why would micropayments require users to make "a hundred purchasing decisions per day"?

One of many counter examples is the streaming media use case. The user agrees once to a certain price per minute/second streaming rate then the wallet software does the rest until the user is out of money or decides to stop watching/listening to the stream.

The reason micropayments aren't a thing is because BTC decided to pivot away from being cash in favor of being a speculative asset so the software that would make use of micropayments never got built.

I could frame this. Task failed successfully. Maybe folks need more experience in hard science (I'm a former bench chemist), but the only way a test can truly fail, is if someone or something is harmed, or you don't collect good data.

Blowing up rockets is arguably better than successful missions (provided you get telemetry), cause you found an edge of the envelope.

IMO a big reason why is that web apps don't have the idioms and affordances of desktop applications, so in the end, the ux feels wrong to users unless do you a boatload of extra work implementing and maintaining the multiple versions of the experiences your app provides. In many cases it was easier to just rewrite the whole thing in a desktop framework, where the desktop idioms and affordances are the default behavior, instead of trying to implement them in a cross platform framework. This problem only got worse when the OS updated its look and feel, your cross platform app wouldn't look new, like it would if you used the built in frameworks provided by the OS.

Then again, maybe I didn't read very closely at what this is announcing... This is just talking about a new better install experience, but I think what I said is still true. They are putting OS affordances in the installer, but when you get to the app, its different. Yuck.

Another thing that really sucked is when MSFT deprecated "click once" installers. Suddenly this "easy" way to make an installer became a huge headache. For some stable, legacy applications you can't even build them anymore without either installing an ancient IDE, or writing a new installer. When google deprecates these installers, these apps are going to be in a similar boat. Honestly I'd expect it to be even more painful, because the underlying web part of the web app is a moving target, too.
I wish you success with your company. Good luck.

They were the Roman Empire. The distinction we make today is mainly of two reasons:

- In the East side of the empire, Constantine, the Roman emperor who moved the capital to Byzantium ("New Rome") was half-Greek, and the Greek element in the East meant this half of the Roman Empire had a stronger Greek ethnic presence.

- In the West side, the local Roman elite along with newly arrived Germanic peoples (the Franks) were Christianized and established the Papal states, of whose the Pope was king, the Catholic church, and realms that continued from the Roman Empire that was split into West and East. To make their claim over the Roman Empire stronger, there were fabrications of legitimacy (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation_of_Constantine ) and a lot of religious infighting with the East.

In short, in terms of a continuum of emperors the Eastern empire was essentially uninterrupted.

Even before the breakup of the empire, Romans were a bit obsessed with lineage and being descendants of powerful Romans. This cultural element carried over in the next two millennia by many people claiming the role of the Emperor of Romans, until the victories of Napoleon forced the rest of Europe to dissolve the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 to prevent Napoleon from claiming the title for himself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Holy_Roman_...

They do have a motivation to use it for training, which could result in it being externally exposed to third parties, who might, OTOH, have the motivation when encountering it to do something horrible to you with it.

Execution is 9/10 of the battle.
I suspect recency-bias may be tripping people up: LLMs and ChatGPT are not the final word in AI, and there is no reason for Google to bet the farm on them.

I wouldn't bet against Google DeepMind originating the next big thing, at the very least, their odds are higher than OpenAIs.

Edit: this may yet turn out to be a Google+ moment, where an upstart spooks Google into thinking it is fighting an existential battle but winds up okay after some major missteps that take years to fix (YouTube comments as a real-name social network. Yuck)

> One of many counter examples is the streaming media use case. The user agrees once to a certain price per minute/second streaming rate then the wallet software does the rest until the user is out of money or decides to stop watching/listening to the stream.

Sure, maybe. But different content producers are going to demand different pricing tiers. HBO isn't going to stream The Last of Us for the same per-second rate as a YouTube game streamer. Now if the "wallet software does the rest" and you have variable pricing, why wouldn't every content producer pick the top pricing tier? Without explicit decision making you lose the pricing signal.

Ditto The New York Times and BuzzFeed.
