To test whether bard.google.com is already updated in your region, this prompt seems to work: Which version of Bard am I using? Here in Europe (Germany), I get: The current version is Bard 2.0.3. It is powered by the Google AI PaLM 2 model Considering that you have to log in to use Bard while Bing offers GPT-4 publicly and that Bard will be powered by Gemini Pro, which is not the version that they say beats GPT-4, it…

I think the bard version is most likely a hallucination. I see the bard version from the latest update as `2023.12.06` in https://bard.google.com/updates with the title "Bard is getting its biggest upgrade yet with Gemini Pro". I am guessing this update is not available in Europe.

Yep, I don't see a 2023.12.06 update on my (German) version of that page.

Google has the possibility to roll and integrate small LLM(!) to the Pixel phones, that's something OpenAI can't do easily. Too bad MSFT dropped the Windows phone.

I'm legitimately starting to wonder what white collar workers will even do in 5-10 years.

This just Year 1 of this stuff going mainstream. Careers are 25-30 years long. What will someone entering the workforce today even be doing in 2035?

To me it doesn't look impressive at all. In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvGmVmHv69s , Google talked about solving a competitive programming problem using dynamic programming. But DP is considered only an intermediate level technique in National Olympiad in Informatics/USACO level competitions, which are targeted at secondary school students. For more advanced contests the tough questions usually requi…

Upon further inspection it was a difficult question (3200) that just happened to be DP.

In that case they just unfortunately chose a question that may cause confusion, since DP questions are usually not that hard.

To quote Gemini, what the quack! Even with the understanding that these are handpicked interactions that are likely to be among the system's best responses, that is an extremely impressive level of understanding and reasoning.

What would be Gemini's current IQ? I would suspect it's higher than the average human's.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

He's not wrong. DeepMind spends time solving big scientific / large-scale problems such as those in genetics, material science or weather forecasting, and Google has untouchable resources such as all the books they've scanned (and already won court cases about) They do make OpenAI look like kids in that regard. There is far more to technology than public facing goods/products. It's probably in part due to the cultura…

While you are spot on, I cannot avoid thinking of 1996 or so. On one corner: IBM Deep Blue winning vs Kasparov. A world class giant with huge research experience. On the other corner, Google, a feisty newcomer, 2 years in their life, leveraging the tech to actually make something practical. Is Google the new IBM?

google is the new IBM.

apple is the new Nokia.

openai is the new google.

microsoft is the new apple.
