Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Google accused "commercially motivated" actors of trying to clone its Gemini AI after indiscriminately scraping the web for its models.

The output of one pioneering model has become almost indistinguishable from another, forcing companies to try to differentiate their products.

This is corpo speak for "LLMs aren't going to get much better than this, which is what research had shown months ago, but we can't let users notice so we will create more wrappers, shove it into more apps, mask the mistakes, keep changing the tone and adding floating visualizations to distract you from the fact they're still shit"

It's the same song and dance all selfish people perform. They get to cheat and steal and lie to others but nobody gets to do it to them. They are morally and ethical empty. They act based on what they can get for themselves, not what is wise for our community or its future.

The thieves can have my data if it will be bad for Google. I hope these tech CEOs eat shit.
