    It's not dramatic, it's just something you personally haven't noticed. A quick search regarding Gemini weather hallucination shows it's both widespread and something not mitigated …

    Always stuck to the flagship google models as my primary driver (starting with the G1 in college) for the pure google experience, but between killing assistant in favor of Gemini w…

    A sandbox that can be toggled off is not a sandbox, this is simply more marketing/"critihype" to overstate the capability of their AI to distract from their poorly built product. T…

    Getting a compound incorrect is not an "unimportant" error (for example the difference between sodium nitrate & sodium nitrite is small but critical) and seeing "small but blatant"…

    No I'm saying that some companies are doing it (OpenAI at the very least), the company in question has motive and capability to game the system (kudos to them for pushing the bound…

    Gonna be completely honest, if you want to draw in people with anything more than a casual interest in literature, your examples are an immediate turn-off. I suggest you spend time…

    lmarena/lmsys is beyond useless, looking at prior rankings of models vs formal benchmarks or testing for accuracy + correctness on batches of real world data. It's a bit like using…

    I used that period (vs saying they spent $110B between 2005-2021) to establish the fact that it's a known, expected pattern of behavior regardless of Intel's performance, roadmap, …

    Any part of "saving" Intel should include a mechanism barring them from putting any more money that should be spent on R&D towards stock buybacks ($152B since 1990 as of September.…

    The conclusions reached in the paper and the headline differ significantly. Not sure why you took a line from the abstract when even further down it notes that it's that some eleme…

    I was being generous and said "not even counting," but no despite the internal name change, most still maintain the "Chromecast Built-In" designation on their branding and sites wh…

    If something that sells 100 million+ devices isn't "super popular", I don't know what is. And not even counting the millions of TVs that have it built-in (Hi-Sense, TCL, Samsung) t…

    The same model utilizing the same amount of ram the Pixel 8 has runs on Samsung's latest phone.

    The phones were released in October, while Gemini Nano's announcement happened in December. I, like other developers and consumers reaching for the smaller version, might've bought…

    The point is excluding the ram difference, the hardware on the devices is the same. They launched at the exact same time.

    Not surprised this was flagged despite a civil discussion and how relevant it is to this late stage limbo social networks currently occupy. To be frank, it runs counter to the narr…

    I'm aware that what's in Google's phones aren't capable of doing the on-device ML inference they claim. You might want to actually read what both I and the article are addressing i…

    It's not fine when this "magic" is being advertised as on-device. After reading (and attempting to quickly implement the models ensembles within) both the RealFill[0] and Break-A-S…
