Bada bing bada boom6/30/2023 Google also invested $300 million in Anthropic, one of the most hyped OpenAI rivals whose AI model “Claude” is a ChatGPT competitor. Shares in the company were down 7.7% after Wednesday’s event-meaning that the company lost $100 billion in value overnight. The botched demo, in which Bard produced an inaccurate response to a query among other snafus, sent Google parent Alphabet’s stock plummeting. The company held its own event in Paris a day after Microsoft’s event but drew a lackluster reception for a presentation that seemed rushed and unprepared-even though the company has pioneered many of the technologies behind generative AI products and has invested a hefty sum in the technology. Of course, in all this one would assume that Google could not just sit idle after receiving Microsoft's shot across the bow. "Beyond our own products, we think it's important to make it easy, safe and scalable for others to benefit from these advances by building on top of our best models," Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post about the topic. The company did not give a time frame for general availability but said it will be released to the public after testing safety issues and working out other kinks.Īlong with the release of Bard, Google has announced that it will allow developers to create their own applications by tapping into the company’s natural language models. Bard will be released to “trusted testers” outside the company at an undisclosed date soon. Google unveils Bard and Invests $300 million in AnthropicĮarlier this week, Google announced Bard, a competitor to ChatGPT built atop Google’s powerful natural language processing model LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications). These are topics Microsoft and Google are taking seriously-and for which they must take a strict approach to regulating, auditing and reporting. This makes for a good reminder that misinformation and security must remain top-of-mind for any company releasing AI-generated content. The data in the early version is not guaranteed to be accurate, and it may be some time before a high degree of accuracy can be promised. But just like that friend, the Bing engine’s accuracy should be checked. Still, the conversational tone and variety of answers presented alongside aggregated information make it feel like asking a friend who knows you well enough to know how to answer your questions in a way you will understand. The sorting is not intuitive in the "Google it" world I am used to. My initial reaction is that the new Bing engine is slick and requires less eliminating of useless content than a typical Google search. Patrick Moorhead, CEO, and chief analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy was live tweeting his thoughts from the event his enthusiasm (albeit tempered) was enough to convince me to install the browser and extension and check out the new Bing while I patiently keep my place on the waitlist for the full Microsoft Bing ChatGPT integration. Along with this latest investment, Microsoft announced the new AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser.

Burnout 3 takedown shirt6/30/2023 But the worst thing about the god awfully unbalanced AI is: You can take them down 4 times in a row and they'll still be back on your *ss in a split-second. Oh and while the enemy only needs to chafe you for you to crash, you will need to batista bomb his *ss in order for him to crash because otherwise they'll drive on like you were just some annoying mosquito. Let me put this straight: you can drive the fastest car of your class while the enemy drives a lesser car and he's still gonna be faster than you. You have a better chance of restarting it than catching up to the enemies. Especally evident in the second half of the game where a lap takes 2-3 mins to complete and god forbid you crash only once or twice during the race. Let me describe the AI with one word: brutal. Now I know how unfair racing games' rubberband AI can be but this game seriously takes the cake. kinda problematic for a fast-paced racing game where you NEED to see the upcoming traffic but can't even differentiate the cars from the street so in practice you're crashing into a car that seems to have appeared out of thin air because they had the same color as the tarmac. Anything that's beyond 10 feet is unrecognizable. Everything is white and all of a sudden you got crashed into a car because you didn't see the head lights. You can especially see that on Europe's snow maps. Half of the time you can't even see the cars in the distance because they all get mixed up with the game's background graphics. I don't know if the game designers intentionally programmed it to be this way, but it seems that every time you hit a curve there is always some bus or random car right in the center of the trajectory of the path of your turn. So it basically results in you getting crashed 50% of the time because your car drove off into a wall or into some random car in the traffic, which brings me to my second point. But the worst thing about the camera is when it NEEDS to show you absolutely every f*cking useless, mundane takedown in slow motion while your car continues driving off into god knows where (because you can't see it). Half of the time your car blocks the view (especially on a steep road) of what's in front of you which results in unnecessary crashes. ![]() ![]() DON'T!
