I think anyone sane will have had the same conclusion a long time ago.

It's a black box with input/output in text, thats not a very good moat.

especially given that Deepseek type events can happen because you can just train off of your competitors outputs

I've tried out Gemini 2.5/3 and it generally seems to suck for some reason, problems with lying/hallucinating and following instructions, but ever since Bard came out at first, I thought Google would have the best chances of winning since they have their own TPUs, YouTube (insane video/visual/audio data), Search (indexed pages), and their Cloud/DCs and they can stick it into Android/Search/Workspace.

meanwhile OpenAI has no existing business, they only have API/Subs as revenue, and they're utilizing Nvidia/AMD

I really wonder how things will look once this gold rush stabilizes

I'm confused as well, it hallucinated like crazy

like it seems great, but then it's just bullshitting about what it can do or whatever

Not to mention that Google has infinite video data, scraping data (via Search), their own Quantum computers, their own TPUs, their own Cloud....

Gemini seems to suck majorly, I don't know why (it lies a lot and doesn't follow instructions) but I've been wondering about this too for a while

All hail the EU Federation for pushing this no matter what. Can't wait to be protected even more by our beloved nanny!

And those politicians there form their own little interest groups across members states and vote accordingly, which is the exact opposite of what we think of democracy.

You'd basically have to rely on magic to know how those politicians you vote in will decide to vote on because they join some sect that lobbies them to vote against your interests.

And we all know no voter aside from the 1% will ever think this far. It's exactly like you called it, the illusion of choice

That's the blessing of the KYC/AML laws/regulations for ya.

Moving money needs source of funds, documentation etc... doing any business requires you to doxx yourself to the world and to vendors in the name of transparency.

Luckily though none of this is a problem for large multinationals :) which the EU cares about most in the end

So after you paid income tax, then capital gains tax while accumulating, and about to pay VAT tax while purchasing something, they say "hold on, this money looks illegal!". Savings don't have documentation in form of recent payslip or deed of sale.

The yachts and private jets on European harbors and airports don't look like their owners have any problem with money transfers. Wirecard billions? poof, vanished!

If feels as if elites were in process of cutting off everyone else.

And in a way I think AI can help here, where instead you get just the snippet vs having to add that dep that then becomes a long-term security liability

This guy is a fraud, he isn't measured by any legit institute, only by some random one which stated he is intelligent and he claims he was measured at 276 IQ.

He's low-key just trolling at this point, aaying he wants asylum in the US and making videos about how jesus/God is real with some scientific methods etc.

Just go check out his YouTube you'll see what I'm talking about.

It seems like they're following the footsteps of Claude, as Claude was able to do this correcting thing (I.e. "no wait, actually it's...") in the midst of replying

But somehow I don't see that in Sonnet 4.5 anymore too much.

But yeah it seems really similar to what was going on in Sonnet 4 just like a few months ago

Lmao what the hell have they made
