There should be a name for Waitlist Vapoware: Waitware Vapolist ? Any other ideas?

#72I wish the folks who clearly do not like Google would just not use their products instead of spamming every thread about how they will kill the product, true or not.

Anyway,
It’s not clear which model they’re using for this. I assume whatever Bard is using, but who knows. This is relevant because depending on the intended experience the latency will matter.
Overall it’s not a bad idea, but I do wonder what the monetization path will be for Google. I imagine this will be part of workspace. Perhaps they will add more tiers to include these offerings.
I wish they shared a bit about how this will be differentiated from Bard. Is this simply a new front end to Bard? It’s really an open question. I haven’t seen many products that use LLMs that are better than the prompt response UX.
The most interesting thing about this blog post is the “source grounding.” I’m curious if there’s actual engineering behind it, or is it prompt tweaking contextualized behind the scenes on a given doc.

+1. It's labeled as an experiment, of course it might shut down.

I think a Language Model being used to summarize text with specific direction is one of the primary use cases. I don't really see too many gimmicks here, besides the obvious Google issues

Bard isn't a model, it's a product. Bard was launched with PaLM originally, the same model that the one employee claimed was sentient. At Google I/O they announced PaLM2 and switched over to Bard being backed by it, while also making Bard open to the general public on the same day.
Google is currently in the process of training Gemini, which is positioned to be their GPT-4 killer, as it's multi-modal, and presumably quite a bit more powerful than GPT-4 is. PaLM2 is more analogous to GPT-3.
NotebookLM is a very different product than Bard. Bard has a vague understanding of the information on the internet, and NotebookLM will, presumably, have some level of understanding of your personal documents. It will almost certainly be using PaLM2 until Gemini is ready. That will be neat because Gemini will be able to look at images and read visual charts in your documents. PaLM2 is only able to comprehend text.

#79This is amazing! I can't wait to post about this on Google Wave, Google Currents, Orkut, Jaiku, Google Friend Connect, and Google+, read all about it on Google Reader and Google FastFlip, chat about it with friends on Buzz, Duo, Google Talk, Hangouts, and also blog on my website made with Google Page Creator or Web Hosting on Google Drive or Google Sites. It's just so reassuring to know I can depend on the Google eco…
I get it. Google has a lot of killed/closed products. But that’s kind of their MO. They try a lot of things. Sometimes they work (Gmail was an experiment at one point), but they often don’t. Making fun of their killed products is a favorite HN past time, but what would you have them do? Just sit back and not try to make new things? Or keep zombie projects alive, but unmaintained just because a few of us find it reall…
> but what would you have them do?
I dunno....maybe SUPPORT THE DAMNED PRODUCT?
As much crap as microsoft gets, they know how to support a product.
Spin it off? Open-source it? so many other options.....
Do something to return the investment that the users have made in the product (after all, a product alone has no value without its actual users).
Anything but simply killing it off.

#80Earlier quoted context omitted.
According to GPT4, you had a 75% chance of being a bot before the disclaimer. With the disclaimer it gives me a 100% chance or OpenAI will give me my money back.
Haha. That was a funny response from the GPT. I attacked your bot unintentionally! On serious note, do you think as society progresses with use of AI, our brain will be geared toward filtering everything or we will lose the trust system that is prevalent in the society? Think about it, the more people are being shut for bot, they more likely they will stop interacting online and this might eventually lead to a lot of…
I've long assumed I'm just a brain in a vat. Solves all those thorny theoretical problems by just tossing the concept of other conscious individuals out the window altogether.
I think, therefore only I am.
