Nothing matters anymore. Lie on your resume. Don't shovel the snow. Be absolutely naked. Throw your careers to the wind. Bathe in the pale moonlight amongst the corpses of oligarchs.

You didn't have me until that last sentence

They probably should've disclosed that beforehand, or as part of the video, but anyone with any experience with AI (ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc) knew the voice was staged to make for a better presentation.

They did. On their Gemini webpage it has the marketing stuff, the marketing video (the one that everyone saw), and linked to blogs about how they performed the tasks in the video. So Google hasn't admitted anything - they stated it from the start. We could argue that they should have stated it in the video but what marketing material does? Eg. Redbull's stuff suggests that their product gives us wings.

Google hasn’t blown OpenAI out of the water because they don’t want to. They’re an ad company and they can’t move away from that.

I think you aren't aware of how much Google sucks at even simple software.

[-] chitak166@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

They really do a surprisingly bad job at things.

I wish they could compete with apple on quality, but it's just not there.

They value engineering too much and design too little. It results in not only shittily-designed products, but also shittily-engineered ones too because they over-engineer everything.

Why? Because it doesn’t work? Pixel 7a least favorite phone I’ve had since the krzr days.

[-] mriormro@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I actually really enjoy my pixel 7.

They've always experimented with new stuff.

Yeah but LLMs eat into the ad model as I see it. Less visiting ad links when the bot spits out your answer for you

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Put ad links into the bot. Simple really.

Damn it all players are switching from LP to CD, better stop trying to develop and give up

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Straight up Hooli behaviour.

[-] Yoz@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Lol hope they had more seasons. I kinda liked that show

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Did you not see the finale? There's no reason for them to make more of it. The story is done.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Why in the fuck would you think an AI needs to tell you that two things are round?
