They don't know who to buy them from because they don't have any friends and don't go out.

If you work from false premises you can get to whatever conclusion you like. Gemini is not bad at all but you do you.


"Bad" is a meaningless subjective assessment. The important question is whether Gemini is better than GPT-4o and GPT-o1. In most cases, it is not, and it's very noticeable if you do more than summarization or translation. Google is firmly behind Anthropic even, never mind OpenAI.


This made me laugh out loud so much because while it's not as true anymore, it's a pretty good distillation of how unwilling try he average Googler is to be disagreeable and I guess Gemini absorbed some of that from the people that worked on it. Just like normal software AIs seem to be the expression of the organization that produces it but in this case it's easier to spot it as it gives it a sort of "persona".


does it mean people that can build languages and compilers are not humans? What is the point you're trying to make?


It means that's a really high bar for intelligence, human or otherwise. If AGI is "as good as a human, and the test is a trick task that most humans would fail at (especially considering the weasel requirement that it additionally has to be faster), why is that considered a reasonable bar for human-grade intelligence.


Bah this article is a bunch of nonsense. You're saying that a technology that has been around for a grand 2 years is not yet mature? Color me shocked.

I'm sure nothing will change in the future either.


According to Ilya Sutskever: "results from scaling up pre-training have plateaued".

They're trying other techniques to improve what we already have atm.


and we plow through plateaus every 6 months, regularly, by inventing something new. I thought we were engineers, not some kind of amish cult.


Keep doing it until you get better at it. Not caring about what others think is a skill.


I just want to appreciate how the author used the sane "fear of not being good enough" instead of the idiotic "impostor syndrome" that everyone uses to mean the same.


What’s wrong with impostor syndrome? Perhaps overused term but that for a good reason, many people are battling the same insecurities while others are confident on hot air. Very few have a backing for being confident.


Because impostor syndrome was a term supposed to describe a medical phenomenon that proved not to exist. Around my parts we call that "bullshit".


And it was adopted to mean what we all know it means. The origin may be completely wrong but it got a meaning that is not too far off.


"Imposter syndrome" is just the term we have given to "fear of not being good enough". What is wrong with coming up with a term for that fear?


I don't agree with medicalization of normal human experience. It's not a syndrome if it happens to everyone and it's perfectly normal. It's also a way to justify being a pussy, which is a sentiment I don't condone under any circumstance.


I read the article and frankly I'm not sure what she means by it.


It's absolutely coming. I'm curious to see what their ad units will look like. IMHO ads in an LLM search world will look more like Facebook ads than Google ads. Brand advertising will stay focused on YouTube while click to buy and click to download are probably the best fit for the medium.


in the current state they are already plenty useful, I don't think it's worth proving mathematically that something can work 100% of the times when 80% is good enough.
