How many bags has Google fumbled at this point?
Ahead of the curve, poor execution.
1/ Google Meet/Duo/Hangouts
2/ Google Glass
3/ Google Brain/Deepmind
4/ Loon
Ideally, they get their advantage back.

It’s early days

2023-09-19 19:38:21

Just for the record, we don’t have super human intelligence yet.
As of today, LLMs just rely on “next token prediction”

It’s crazy cause LLMs are just “predicting the most likely next word” based on text it has seen in training
The real power will be in leveraging them to create commands for plug-ins.

The likely behind-the-scenes bidding war for these Generative AI companies must be insane!

One of the most consequential past few weeks in tech in a long time.
1. Explosion of Generative AI applications
2. Apple making its long-awaited move in Spatial Computing
3. SEC’s judgement about altcoins being securities - leaving Bitcoin out of the list
Lots still undetermined but it’s time to take calculated risks out here!

Remember the Nets and Bucks series from a few years ago when the Bucks dared Kevin Durant to score 60 on them every night with single coverage.
The Heat should do the same on Jokic, not allowing him to kill them as a play maker.
