I doubt they’re referring to feature parity WRT machine learning summaries and the like. “Less useful over time” is more likely a gentle way of saying ungraceful performance degradation.
Escalation in the SEO wars is accelerating. Various culprits but obviously generative NLP technologies designed specifically to sound human are nukes in this metaphor.
Any index developer that isn’t willing or can’t afford to continue fighting the war must choose:
- host a legacy product that rapidly enshittifies
- pull the plug now while it still works
If the index is the developer’s only product, the only real risk of option 1 is damaging their street cred.
In OP’s case, the index was not even their core product, so option 2 was the wiser decision.
Pretty sure they meant “[have been] loaned” but you make an interesting point
Yeah same. My intent was to suggest sea life preservationism as an adequate justification for irresponsible public intoxication.
Fr I’m curious. This is important.
Edit: best answer I could find are other mario branded products that describe their scent. The examples I found named the scent either “berry” or “strawberry.” So I’m closing this query as “likely smells of electric strawberries.”
Ah! Well, for… tradition then, I suppose.
Vampires don’t sparkle. Ed just had a weird thing about glitter. Racist.
But only cases! Never 6-packs.
For our sea turtle bros, you’re obligated to go hard.
Right, I suspect that, even if we ignore just how singularly unifying cancer has become as an enemy to every echelon of society, there’s simply no way any individual or group of conspirators could or would keep a cure under wraps for very long.
Like you said, profit is one good reason. As profitable as the cancer industry may be overall, any capitalist agent within the space with the sudden power to “sweep the board” and make an unforetold fortune in the process has little incentive to cooperate with their competitors.
Another reason is the irrepressible selfishness and entitlement of the wealthy. There’s no way wealthy decision makers would choose their own death if a potential cure was near at hand. Assuming the cure was developed in secret, exclusively for the wealthy (which might actually happen at some point) it wouldn’t be possible to maintain such a secret for very long.
Finally, if there is any truth to the speculation that a true general cure would, in effect, amount to a cure to aging itself, then in addition to the reasons above, any supposed conspiracy would face the impossible task of containing perhaps THE most catchy idea of human history. If that was actually possible, we might as well also believe in ancient myths like the Tree of Life, the Fountain of Youth, and the Holy Grail.
This sounds more reasonable.
I mean, I can imagine why a conspiracy might develop. According to headlines, we’ve cured cancer hundreds of times now! So why do people still die from cancer? Maybe because big-_____ is stopping it. And maybe there are some one-off case examples that fit the theory.
But we know for a fact that there’s a long tradition in science journalism of misrepresenting and overhyping the results of cancer research especially. And the typical omissions are IIRC: in vitro vs in vivo > rats vs humans > treatments targeting specific cancers that may not be generalizable.
Lol. This is a very AI-era Apple type of marketing fuck up.
Of course they’d rather not say they’re using a competitor’s superior model. Who would? But by attempting to conceal it they’re setting themselves up for yet another PR snafu undermining their expensive privacy brand.
Yes, model runs on Apple servers, Google doesn’t get the data, I understand. But “secretly using Google” will be the word on the street, especially considering most other big name products that paper over Gemini use the API directly. It’s also real hard to reverse an easy idea like that with the requisite subtleties about what a “model” is, where it’s hosted, how it “integrates” with “on-device inference” to maintain “E2EE,” blah blah.
So the story will just be “hey Siri” = “hey Google,” the primary antagonist they declared themselves an alternative to. And all that BS because they couldn’t just admit that their in-house software still sucked so they opted to buy someone else’s. /eyeroll
