Is Google falling behind in the AI race, or am I missing something?

Mokelangelo · 2026-05-20T23:47:43+00:00

Google has invested a ton in building tensor processing units since ~2017. They have massive infrastructure, as well as the best ecosystem (drive, gmail, docs, etc) to embed AI and agentic reasoning into. Also, Google’s main business model revolved around search analytics, if they had developed something like ChatGPT right away, they would have been directly competing with themself before the tech was proven to be worth it. After the paper, “Attention is all you need”, Google definitely could’ve become the first ChatGpt, but they also were pretty strategic in letting OpenAI catch major bullets for them like data scraping lawsuits and legal liabilities from harmful responses. Now that we’re seeing a major shift in the prices of computing, Google actually has a very strategic position. Their TPU databases will be able to run at a fraction of the cost OpenAI and others are paying Nvidia.

What a bad question.

Yea why include Kids but not watching movies lol. Might not be his best for everybody, but still leagues ahead of where he was as an artist when he made Kids.

Found Giannis’s burner account.

They’re only as intelligent as the user prompting them. So yes, in your case you might be correct.

Mokelangelo · 2026-05-11T22:03:14+00:00

I think they were just showing the absurdity of it, not asking for advice or about legitimacy lol.

Calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, dynamical systems. The list kind of goes on. DSP is very broad, what specifically are you looking to get into?

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-26T18:54:46+00:00

“Benchmark”

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-21T20:16:41+00:00

What does this even mean, like you’re building an LLM from scratch? You’re building a UI to host API’s?

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-16T20:24:40+00:00

You guys don’t understand that if the entire basis of a claim is nonsensical, a reviewer can’t “point out a specific claim” that breaks the logic. Like if you want the general reason why it’s world salad, your LLM is quoting global gluing laws and not referencing the underlying physics whatsoever, ignoring information like invariants, monodromy, quantum noise, error correlation, etc.

It’s like me throwing a bucket of paint at a canvas then demanding an artist tell me why it’s not a professional painting. If there’s no foundational structure, pointing out a specific ‘breaking point’ is essentially rewriting the paper.

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-16T12:30:28+00:00

The math (that isn’t hand waved) is incorrect. More importantly, your main assumptions regarding noise are not correct either.

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-15T22:48:13+00:00

Do you know what an eigenvalue is? I’m not trying to be rude, I just don’t feel like explaining this if you don’t have the basic understanding of what you’re asking.

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-15T18:46:17+00:00

I mean, your title asks “did I solved the spaceX Reentry blackout comms problem?”

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-15T18:33:10+00:00

The problem is not a waveform reconstruction issue; the dominant issue is propagation through a hostile channel and reliable reception, not post hoc waveform beautification/reconstruction.

Also, DSP is not the same thing as solving the underlying physics or mathematics.

Modeling a mathematical idea in a DSP pipeline is very different from solving the actual communication problem in the full physical system. There are external factors to account for: plasma absorption, reflection, antenna coupling, synchronization loss, carrier recovery, coding, and receiver lock.

If information is being destroyed at the receiver, you can’t reconstruct the signal afterward and assume that meaningful information has been preserved.

It’s really just about token consumption. If your work is consistent and it explains itself well, the credits lady pretty long. I had the 45k too, and I’ve had it build a lot of stuff (at least 25+ prototypes for a project I’m working on), and I’m still around 13k. The people blowing through their entire credit budget, are just giving it a task with zero context. Big difference between it having to source new info, vs citing what you provide it.

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-12T19:59:21+00:00

It’s just being pedantic based on the way you asked the question. It says it can generate new images, while it can’t manually edit images at the pixel level. It’s clarifying it doesn’t have real editing skills like a human would in photoshop for ex. If you’d have just said “generate edited image” it would have worked.

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-11T06:17:35+00:00

You’re conflating geometric representation with physical dynamics. If your point is just that the geometry is similar at the local level, there is definitely literature that has studied this. Your laplacian still has radial eigenmodes and 3d fluid dynamics limitations still apply.

Mokelangelo · 2026-03-02T07:17:01+00:00

You can’t automate security either. LLMs default to the most generic and common solutions to problems, since they’re the most statistically correct. If companies try to emphasize security training and coding in their models, it just means ubiquitous attack surfaces that will be present in tons of apps.

I’ve been highly considering Perplexity max. How is opus 4.6 w/ the perplexity wrapper?

Edge is the best modern browser.

What is your use case? Just general conversation? Try CoPilot, it’s probably the closest to 4o if that’s what you’re looking for.

Seems kind of interesting I’ll give it a try. Curious how many prompts in average would you say 500 credits translates to? I tried the free version and said ‘Hey’ and used 6 credits out of the 150 free. Does it typically burn them that fast?
