“In two or three years from now, we’ll look back and be confused about how Google is written off in these skirmishes,” Box CEO Aaron Levie, the evening’s host, told the room.
We’d been discussing Google’s failure to lock down Anthropic — an OpenAI rival that Google invested $300 million in before Amazon put in billions more — but Levie made the case that Google didn’t need to lock down Anthropic like Microsoft did OpenAI. Google has enough technical infrastructure and resources, Levie said, that it will inevitability figure out a winning AI move, and it’s already showing signs. This was the evening’s theme.
“If you just say, ‘Okay, who has essentially the world's largest dataset, who has an arbitrarily large number of the right engineers for the problem, and unlimited capital. Those are the core ingredients,” said Levie. “There's effectively very few secrets in AI in terms of how these training runs and algorithms work at some dimensional point, like within a six or twelve month period. So I would not count out Gemini.”
There’s a negative reaction to chatgpt generated comments. Personally I understand it somewhat as there seems to be a number of bots running around making useless comments on a site that’s always prided itself on being better than everyone else. I don’t really mind these sort of summary type comments, but I suppose enough people do.
Yeah, I don't know why my summary was flagged either. I like testing LLMs on article summarization (especially on articles about AI), and found this to be a very good summary, that's why I posted it.
“If we want to understand what the universe is about, and what’s the meaning of life, we need to get there and find out,” he said. “And the more that we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the more we’ll be able to understand what questions we need to ask about the answer that is the universe.”
Hi, I wrote the story. It was not leaked by PR. Did they anticipate it might go out? Perhaps. But consider: Boz wrote it a month ago. If they wanted this out in public, they did a poor job getting it out. This was an internal memo meant for an internal audience to address an internal problem.
