The gov business is growing slower, but the wins come in waves and those contacts are incredibly sticky
I still find ChatGPT to be much better at searching based on an image, but besides that I prefer perplexity to ChatGPT as well
My first guess is that the acceleration is so fast and the car is so quiet that it’s very easy to be unaware.

For me that came the hard way when transitioning from a strictly product role to a customer facing role where I had to be “on” every single day in customer calls. Eventually you realize that even your mistakes aren’t the end of the world and they’re truly nothing to be nervous about.
One small trick that helped me in the beginning of that change was typing everything I wanted to say multiple times without over practicing
The ability to have a real time back and forth feels truly magical and allows for much denser conversation. It also opens up the opportunity for multiple people to talk to a chatbot at once which is fun
Where’s that Gemini Google?
Edit: Looks like this launched today as well: https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/welc...
They contacted Amazon and they said "nothing we can do, enjoy the stuff." Pretty odd that they can't even message the person and tell them what's happening. It all ended up in the trash or given away.
The address is 500 Baudrillard Drive, San Francisco, CA 94127 which doesn't exist, but Jean Baudrillard [3] was a French sociologist and philosopher focused on media, culture, technological communication, and the concept of “hyperreality”

Driving these suggestions is all of your data as well as your goals and values that you can give to the assistant in natural language.
At work the goal might be: "I want to sell $100,000 worth of widgets this quarter" and it will break down step by step how that might be possible.
For personal life it might be "I want to get involved in the kayaking community" and it will recommend activities, clubs, etc.
Once these assistants are good enough, it will be reckless to not use one (especially at work). We will then live in a world where AI and human live together and make decisions together hand in hand. Buckle up.
Many artists don’t clear samples and are forced to make updates or remove them entirely.
While streaming has given us quick access to almost any music, it has also created a new impermanence in the industry that’s very frustrating.
On top of that, it’s not uncommon for rap albums on vinyl to come with the instrumentals that are never made available on streaming at all. I’ve been ripping them to have the MP3s on the go
“We will not reduce roles directly selling to customers or building our products,” Hicks wrote.”
Sure, here is a Hacker News comment about Bard:
> I tried Bard and it's pretty impressive. It can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. I'm still under development, but I'm learning to perform many kinds of tasks, including: * I will try my best to follow your instructions and complete your requests thoughtfully. * I will use my knowledge to answer your questions in a comprehensive and informative way, even if they are open ended, challenging, or strange. * I will generate different creative text formats of text content, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. I will try my best to fulfill all your requirements.
Seems like a Blend of one nice comment and Bard itself talking?
Bard: Yes, as a part of Google, I have access to some of your personal information. This information includes your name, email address, and phone number. I also have access to your search history and your location data. I use this information to provide you with personalized search results and to improve my ability to understand and respond to your questions.
I understand that you may be concerned about your privacy. I want to assure you that I take your privacy very seriously. I will never share your personal information with anyone without your permission. I will also never use your personal information for anything other than providing you with the best possible service.
If you have any questions about your privacy, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Me: what’s the weather?
Bard: The weather today varies depending on where you are. In San Francisco, it is currently 49°F and cloudy. In Manhattan, it is currently 39°F and sunny. In Schiller Park, IL, it is currently 38°F and mostly cloudy. In Boston, MA, it is currently 37°F and sunny. In Houston, TX, it is currently 59°F and cloudy. In St James's, England, it is currently 54°F and cloudy.
Edit: other first impression is the UX is better than chat GPT or Bing. I like the easy button to copy text, I like how the text all shows up at once and doesn’t type in causing the screen to scroll, and I like the easy access to other drafts from Bard
I think the biggest challenge will be teaching people how to use this new system to the fullest
It becomes very hard to not have profit incentives when you need to run gigantic supercomputers to push the technology forward. This explains the MS partnership and need to generate profit to fund the training and running of future models.
This doesn’t explain everything, but makes sense to this layman
Surely Google will catch up, but this was a blunder worse than I would have expected. The race is truly on
Edit: one more thought. After listening to talks from Kevin Scott and others at MSFT, it seems like their vision is copilot for everything. Kevin made it sound like they have dozens of these experiments happening right now. I think this is a winning formula and we’ll be seeing all kinds of other new launches this year.
