Very interesting, and Google has so much proprietary data too. It definitely is better in privacy too. All the leaders are still too tied to governmental entities, mainly the US. Most of these models are extremely biased and US centric. We need more diversity.
Two core points: Gemini is accelerating its market share of OpenAi though more innovative features and better user privacy. Second: US government is too deeply invested in the success of OpenAi through strategic partnership (especially at the DoD) that it will not let OpenAi fall behind. Thoughts?

The pettiness and blatant racism
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

He’s not a president, he acts like a mafia boss guided by short term personal gains.
Trump pardoned former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking while pushing to unseat Venezuela’s Maduro on the same grounds. One case framed as a Biden witchhunt, the other justified by the US unilaterally linking regional cartels to Maduro. Inconsistencies are a political liability!

The AI overhype and commercialization is here to stay
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Au moins 67 enfants ont été tués et des dizaines d’autres blessés dans l’enclave depuis la fin officielle des combats, selon l’organisme onusien. « Chacun de ces enfants avait une famille, un rêve, une vie soudainement interrompue par la violence continue », a rappelé Ricardo Pires, porte-parole de l’UNICEF.
