How real is it though? This blog post says In this post, we’ll explore some of the prompting approaches we used in our Hands on with Gemini demo video. which makes it sound like they used text + image prompts and then acted them out in the video, as opposed to Gemini interpreting the video directly. https://developers.googleblog.com/2023/12/how-its-made-gemin...

After reading this blog post, that hands-on video is just straight-up lying to people. For the boxcar example, the narrator in the video says to Gemini: > Narrator: "Based on their design, which of these would go faster?" Without even specifying that those are cars! That was impressive to me, that it recognized the cars are going downhill _and_ could infer that in such a situation, aerodynamics matters. But the blog…

> Does Gemini have a date cutoff at all? Not sure about Gemini specifically (it’s so new!) but Google has previously said that bard is updated daily with current news and information. Obviously Google has potential advantages being able to lean into their indexes so the raw model doesn’t need to embed/train against things like GitHub issues. I wonder if we’ll see LLM-optimized websites with built-in prompts to replac…

from what I remember bard should be able to browse the internet and write code internally to better answer queries. I feel like these abilities are just improved with Gemini as a better language model.

Very impressive! I noticed two really notable things right off the bat: 1. I asked it a question about a feature that TypeScript doesn't have[1]. GPT4 usually does not recognize that it's impossible (I've tried asking it a bunch of times, it gets it right with like 50% probability) and hallucinates an answer. Gemini correctly says that it's impossible. The impressive thing was that it then linked to the open GitHub i…

> Does Gemini have a date cutoff at all? You can ask it. Here's what it responded with: > "Do you mean to ask if I have a cutoff date for the data I was trained on? If so, the answer is yes. My training data includes text and code from various sources, and the most recent data I was trained on was from July 2023."

One observation: Sundar's comments in the main video seem like he's trying to communicate "we've been doing this ai stuff since you (other AI companies) were little babies" - to me this comes off kind of badly, like it's trying too hard to emphasize how long they've been doing AI (which is a weird look when the currently publicly available SOTA model is made by OpenAI, not Google). A better look would simply be to sh…

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…
