This has been the craziest week ever for Google
If your name happens to be Google, this week has been a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. From releasing impressive new technology to apologizing for not-so-good tech, and addressing insane rumors, there’s something for everyone in the tech world to talk about. Let’s dive into the events that unfolded this week.
Event 1: Gemini 1.5 Showcase
On February 23rd, 2024, Google unveiled Gemini 1.5 to the world. This new technology, a large language model with a 10 million token context window, outperformed other models like GP4 and GPT Turbo. Users were impressed by its ability to understand custom data and incorporate components from uploaded projects seamlessly. Gemini 1.5 was a game-changer for developers and content creators alike.
Event 2: Open Source Models Announcement
Google also announced a family of open-source models designed to rival Meta Llama 7B and Mistol. These models dominated the competition, especially in math and coding tasks. Despite some limitations on prohibited use, these models were praised for their performance and accessibility to developers.
Event 3: Guard Rails Gone Wrong
However, not everything went smoothly for Google this week. Some users noticed peculiar behavior with Gemini’s image generator, leading to unintended and controversial results. Google’s attempt to address diversity in image generation backfired, causing outrage from both ends of the political spectrum. Google issued an apology and temporarily suspended the image generation feature to address the issue.
The Monumental Achievement for Web Developers
One of the highlights of the week was the unveiling of the new sign-in page design by Google. The transition from a vertical layout to a more modern horizontal layout was praised for its sleek design and improved user experience. The technical feat of centering divs and form inputs showcased Google’s commitment to innovation in web development.
The Gmail Scare
Amidst all the chaos, an email hoax claiming the shutdown of Gmail in August 2024 circulated online, causing panic among users. Google quickly debunked the rumor, reassuring users that Gmail is not going anywhere. The incident served as a reminder of the power of misinformation in the digital age.
In conclusion, this week has been a whirlwind for Google, with highs and lows, successes and challenges. As one of the tech giants shaping the future of technology, Google continues to push boundaries and innovate. Whether you love or hate Google, there’s no denying the impact it has on the tech industry. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of Google.
At least he's getting money for advertisment
It's not just their image-creator. They've always been racist. And it's been apparent to anyone paying attention.
The search results are horribly biased
It's almost like a company that started out by stealing traffic via DNS poisoning is actually evil and produces bad fruit. Who woulda thunk it.
0:37 it's a 1 million token window
Is this the same as Studio bot in Android studio?
"…was designed to be so anti-racist that it paradoxically became racist." That's how being "anti-racist" always goes, and it's not paradoxical at all. Anti-racism as an ideology isn't at all concerned with equality. It's about aggressive social engineering.
I swear Ive been waiting for you to drop this xD .. ure the best
code report is gonna be my fav series
Gmail may as well shut down considering how shit it is at delivering emails from Gmail users to other Gmail users.
sure they'll cancel gmail, they need it to track all the data… it'll never be cancelled.
i love google
“Google Stadia is here to stay" -famous last word from Google Stadia
this gets better and better…
Google is racist
Google can still win the war because they can leverage enough. OpenAi and Microsoft can still leverage, but Google, is far beyond Microsoft on search for example and has much data…
New Google login page
Vertical to horizontal
Is it delivered in Keynote
Or 100 PMs will deliver in Google Meet
Bro how did anyone in their huge group of devs not test this shit racist shit 😭 before shipping it. How's that even possible.
@Fireship you missed the mark bro… Gemini is the Most Racist and WOKE AI every made … it legit tells you have white privilig. Hates Trump and White people.. etc… its not only images!!
So much is happening
There's no way anyone would use AI nefariously.
Then Google comes around and the first thing they do is pretend white people don't exist.
The centering div joke got me man, amazing
I'm glad your side project Horse Tinder now has secure user verification. God those horses hate their identities being stolen
Well, is this folder upload feature exclusive for Gemini 1.5 pro? I'm trying to upload a simple project folder but I can't make it work
"deepstate connections"… laughing my * off
2:40 💀
google needs to give us 100 gigs of free drive storage in exchange of what they have done till now.
horrible ai voice video
Taking bets for how long it takes before google launches 3 different versions of this thing and kills all of them before releasing a watered down version
2:53 LOL. Akin to hitting a $20,000 drone with a $1,000,000 missile? Ah large organizations, you make life interesting.
That Gmail bit almost got me. If Google actually did shut down Gmail…. I honestly think it'd be cataclysmic. Like SOOOO many users, and not just people but businesses, use Gmail in some form. It shutting down would be a huge shit show.
The “Google centered a div” part hit close to home
There we go again, Jeff on AI loop. I guess he has an AI itch or something 😀
Properties of Google services include:
Will be shutdown, you lose everything.
Gmail prank shutdown? Everyone reacts with "Oh well, I knew it was coming."
Did they really just change the sign in page to a horizontal layout 🤣🤣 and call it new. It's literally gonna be back to be it's previous design on phone, what were they thinking ☠️
I love this guys XD
All these product names are giving me a headache. Is 1.5 Pro generally available yet? Or just early access like to folks like you?
