This article on what Google claims it has done/will do with its AI is extraordinary for all the wrong reasons.

Here’s a sample:

We’ve made extraordinary progress to deliver on our full AI stack.

What ‘stack’? All you have is Gemini which can’t remember what it said yesterday, can’t open a spreadsheet, can’t even get a frickin’ Family Guy quote right!

the Gemini app reached 950M monthly users

Wow! What a way to scam people out of money and data.

At the same time, there’s never been a more important moment to shape the future of AGI and science

Oh boy, where to start with how wrong this one is…

And that’s only a sample of the content of this ludicrous thing…

    AGI and science: Demis has described us as standing in the foothills of the singularity, and has been spending a lot of his time engaging externally. He and I have been long discussing a role that allows him to put his full attention on actively shaping the future of AGI. It’s work that is vitally important to Alphabet and humanity, and I can’t imagine a better person than Demis to do it. So, moving forward, Demis will become the Chair of GDM and Chief Scientist of Alphabet, while continuing to lead Isomorphic Labs. He’ll remain closely connected to Koray, Josh, and our GDM teams, advising across models and research. I’m so excited for Demis — this is truly his life’s work and purpose. You can read Demis’s note to GDM below.
