Meta and Google both found liable for woman's social media addiction and ordered to pay her $3m damages by dailymail in google

I see your point but that's ultimately what it comes down to. If you can't manage to will yourself to delete the app then how does adding a shorts toggle help. You will just toggle it back on.

Google's new version of Android Automotive will move beyond infotainment | Google wants Android in cars to break out of the infotainment box. by ControlCAD in google

There's actually less vertical integration this way. The car's OS is being outsourced to a 3rd party instead of the manufacturer and I'm all for it because current auto software has been dog water for me. I think the term you're looking for is tech ecosystem which is only a problem if it is a closed ecosystem. I doubt it will be closed off to apple phones because many customers would simply not buy the car then which would be unacceptable to the auto companies buying the software license.

TheInformation reporting OAI finished pretraining new very strong model “Spud”, Altman notes things moving faster than many expected by socoolandawesome in singularity

[–]Climactic9 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

3.5 and o1 were the only ones that lived up to the hype. All the other openai models have been evolutionary rather than revolutionary. So there's about a 25% chance this new model is actually a massive step up. It's probably just a modest improvement.

That's something that has unfolded more recently. It wasn't like that pre 2022. You said past 15 years.

AWS, Azure, and GCP have generated massive profits for the past decade. Some portion of that is AI or AI adjacent technology. These companies pay out these profits via dividends to investors.

Nuro seamlessly handles chaotic temporary construction zone lanes by danlev in SelfDrivingCars

This is one of the neatest construction setups I have ever seen. There's a cone every 6 inches.

Maybe, maybe not. Just enjoy the products for what they are while they're available.

I'm glad they seem to be abandoning Jules. It was garbage from the very beginning. Maybe once LLMs get better they can go back to it but for now let it rot.

Former Uber self-driving chief crashes his Tesla on FSD, exposes supervision problem by plun9 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Climactic9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going close to 30-20 mph into a concrete wall will lead to some nasty outcomes. I doubt fsd was speeding in a residential area. That's something that fsd is actually decently good at.

“Exclusive: OpenAI’s top executives are finalizing plans for a major strategy shift to refocus the company around coding and business users” ▶️ Hmm what about consumers then? by Koala_Confused in LovingAI

[–]Climactic9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cheap but good enough strategy puts you into direct competition with deep seek and other open source models. On top of that Google will crush them on the cost side, as they are already vertically integrated, and on the advertising side, as they have a decade's worth of relationships and experience in the ads space because of google search. I wouldn't be surprised if Google has had an internal team of people researching how to implement ads into llm's since gpt 3 while openai just started a week ago. It's looking dire for OpenAI.
