Not surprised. There are worse things in the works.

Looks more like AI slop with paragraphs like these; > The pattern is identical across the board. Price for adoption, not for economics. Lock organizations in. Make AI a load-bearing part of every team's daily workflow. Worry about the bill later.

When I saw the name, Googlebook I had my fingers crossed that Google had finally built something that could compete with the Apple MacBook. If that ad is anything to go by, this will flop and there will be no shortage of consumers who will go along for the ride.

Looks like a lightweight article. But memory usage went from 316MB -> 502 MB when I hit refresh. Not sure why? Any one have any ideas? Why does it need half a gig of ram in the first place?
Interesting post. Curious to know how they arrived at intelligence density = Negative log of the model's error rate divided by the model size.
