fatjokes commented on Google's former CEO on why the company was caught off guard by OpenAI   theverge.com/2024/8/13/24... · Posted by u/tqi

Google sat on transformers, LaMDA for years before OpenAI. The engineers and researchers did their job. This was a case of complete strategic, i.e., leadership failure because they were more worried about getting sued.

If anything this shows you can have a good work life balance culture and deliver groundbreaking results but get it all fcked up by sht leaders.

I feel like self driving cars is one area where Google's slow-and-steady culture just works better than the move-fast-and-break things culture, since the things that would break in this case are literal human bodies.

Boycott Nintendo. Make them lose more money from this decision than they could ever hope to gain.

Survived via the state-funded and activist-created foster system, but conveniently now it’s time to be more skeptical of all that.

I think "survived" is the key word here. I don't think anybody claims it's the bare minimum and there are better solutions out there.

So if TikTok is forced to be sold to American conglomerate, which company is likely to take over?

Google? Great, an even larger company gets free data

Microsoft? Yuck. Pass.

Apple? Probably not a good idea to lock it behind the Apple Wall. It might have worked for Instagram in 2009-2010, but the ecosystem has lost its desire.

Twitter? Doubt this company has enough capital left to absorb the ecosystem of TT. Not even sure if there’s engineering talent left to absorb it, let alone perform the transition.

I knew the junk wasn't Chinese because this was only reported in space.com and not across all the mainstream media.
