Has Google/Alphabet publicly released any of their AI models yet? I’ve seen plenty of hype surrounding Imagen [1] and Parti [2], but as far as I know, they’re still vaporware. Normally I wouldn’t think too hard about this, but two things come to mind here: Firstly, the speed at which competitors are launching and developing new AI models. Imagen/Parti both seem to rival Stable Diffusion and DALL-E… why can’t we use t…

The cultures at the various leading AI research organisations are wildly divergent. Google is full of people that for a want of a better word are simply arrogant.

I don't think the papers they put out are to "show off." It's for advancing the entire field. Imagine if they had kept the Transformer paper in house which everyone uses and is basically the standard in AI now. AI wouldn't be anywhere close to where it is today. Also, I think it's a little ridiculous to think Google would spend $100B over the past 10 years on AI research and not think this stuff will be seen in important products.

I mean you say that, but I keep getting impressed responses to chatGPT, hearing stories of people integrating it into their work flow, etc

I can understand why OpenAI were initially hesitant to be true to their name — it made sense whilst these models were in their infancy.

But as we enter 2023, OpenAI no longer require approval before using GPT3, and DALLE2 is publicly accessible.

Google has yet to release anything publicly… In light of Midjourney’s comments, it’s hard not to be a little suspicious.

What were the Midjourney comments?

You mean NLP field changing models from Google like BERT [1]? or Transformers paper [2]? or T5 model [3] (used by company doing ChatGPT like search currently on the front page on HN)?

The op is saying, correctly, that open Ai is bad because they think brown black and Asian people are as good as him. Anything that makes him feel lesser is woke and bad.

In a world of papers with code, open Ai is not open
